Turkmenistan has focused its diplomatic efforts on international cooperation and multilateralism. The government announced priority positions for the 81st United Nations General Assembly, proposing a UN Decade of Dialogue and Preventive Diplomacy for 2027–2037 and initiatives regarding the peaceful use of artificial intelligence.

Alongside these global diplomatic goals, Turkmenistan has worked to strengthen bilateral ties, such as with the Maldives, and regional environmental initiatives. This includes hosting a scientific-practical conference in the Awaza national tourism zone to mark the 20th anniversary of the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea, focusing on the preservation of the sea’s biological diversity.
