President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov in Astana at the second 'Central Asia – Germany' summit speech stated that among the most important tasks of joint work, Turkmenistan attaches special importance to achieving and maintaining regional peace, security, and stability.

'We believe that in the current conditions, closer political and diplomatic interaction between the countries of Central Asia and Germany can have a noticeable constructive impact on the overall situation in the region and neighboring areas. To involve the efforts of the international community, primarily represented by the United Nations. We proceed from the common aspirations of the leadership of our countries to see Central Asia as a peaceful, calm, economically attractive region, a space of stability and predictability. For Turkmenistan, as a neutral peace-loving state, this approach is of fundamental importance,' said the head of the Turkmen state.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov expressed his readiness to provide comprehensive assistance in achieving this goal, including in the 'Central Asia – Germany' format. In this regard, it is proposed to strengthen diplomatic contacts between the states of Central Asia and Germany, with a special focus on such topics as combating international terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking, and transnational crime. In addition to these traditional risks, Turkmenistan proposes to move to effective joint steps in combating new threats, cybercrime, and biological danger.

'All this requires modern effective protection mechanisms, relying on the latest scientific and technological developments that Germany can offer,' emphasized the head of state.

In this regard, Ashgabat expressed interest in cooperation with German specialized institutions, particularly in the field of control and monitoring of these risks. It was also proposed to jointly determine the algorithms for work in these areas and in an international format, primarily within the UN and its relevant organizations.
