An exhibition dedicated to 2025, which is being held
under the motto "International year of Peace and Trust," has opened in the temporary exhibition hall of the
Mary Velayat Museum of History and Local Lore. Peace and trust are fundamental values, inextricably linked to
ensure a prosperous future for humanity. Today, they are the fundamental principles of international
cooperation and development.
This day, Prezident Serdar Berdimuhamedov establishes peace on our land, setting an example for the entire
world community. Our independent and permanently neutral state makes a significant contribution to ensuring
the well-being of nations by developing peaceful, good-neighborly and friendly political, economic and
cultural relations with countries around the world.
Turkmenistan is the cradle of ancient civilizations, a state experiencing a period of its historical
flourishing, rich in archaeological and natural monuments, a country where peace reigns and friendship and
brotherhood are strengthened. Archaeological finds discovered in ancient settlements, whose age spans
millennia, as well as our national heritage, based on the traditions and customs of ancestors, are invaluable
assets of museums. They reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Turkmen people, rooted in an ancient and
unique culture that originated at the crossroads of the Great Silk Road.
For centuries, Turkmenistan has maintained close ties with the ancient centers of the East and West, and these
ties continue to strengthen today. The Turkmen people carefully preserve their national values, passing them
from generation to generation, respecting their heritage and identity, following the noble traditions of their
ancestors.
