Berdimuhamedov addresses participants of Seoul International Forum

On November 18, President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov made an online address to the participants of the International Forum for Northern Economic Cooperation. He noted that the countries of the Eurasian continent should pay special attention to the development of the «green economy» and use their resources in the fight against the pandemic, as reported by «Turkmenistan Today».

Berdimuhamedov pointed out the importance of implementing the programs «New Northern Policy» (Republic of Korea) and «Revival of the Great Silk Road» (Turkmenistan). According to him, the relevant state strategic courses are aimed at expanding the potential of infrastructure, a «green» economy, energy and transport, and digitalization of the national economy.

The Turkmen leader also emphasized that the world community was unable to solve the problem with the coronavirus in time. According to him, in the current conditions, the only way to defeat the pandemic is to combine the intellectual, material, financial and other resources of all countries of the world.

The President noted that within the framework of the corresponding fight, it is also necessary to focus on the study of the etiology of the virus. He recalled the initiative of Ashgabat to create a special WHO program to study the coronavirus genome, voiced by Berdimuhamedov at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly.

The head of the state stressed that the countries should not forget about the need to completely depoliticize the problem of infection and prevent cases of using the pandemic as a tool of influence on relations between states.
