By Huseyn Hasanov – Trend:

Addressing the general debate of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly, Turkmenistan’s Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov has expressed concern over the escalation of conflicts in the world.

Outlining the escalation of conflicts in different parts of the world, increased militarization and disrespect of international law, Meredov called on world leaders to adhere to and collectively advance the principles of United Nations Charter, international conventions and agreements aimed at resolving conflicts, said the message from the UN News Center.

“The current state of global realities objectively require increasingly closer and more coordinated interaction of states and major international organizations for the sake of achieving the common goal – ensuring international peace and security and preserving legal and institutional frameworks that form the foundation of today’s world
order,” said Meredov in his address to the General Assembly.

He underlined the threats to peace and stability that now transcend national borders, political and ideological doctrines, and terrorism, which falls outside the notions of human morality, undermining the entire system of world order, its principles, values and foundations.

“It is precisely for this reason that the fight against it must be carried out universally at the global, regional and national levels taking into account the prevailing situation and specific aspects of the political and social realities,” added Meredov, noting that Turkmenistan continues to advocate for implementation of relevant international, regional and global agenda on these matters.

Emphasizing that the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a common achievement and now its implementation is a common responsibility, he noted that Turkmenistan, jointly with the UN Development Program and other UN entities, has developed appropriate indicators that will be used for the elaboration of the country’s
national plans.
