00:10Dedicated to the International Year of Peace and Trust and the 30th anniversary of the Declaration

00:19and a series of parallel high-level bilateral meetings.

00:33known as the Ashgabat Declaration, highlighting its commitment to peace, non-interference and

00:39respect for nations' right to self-determination.

00:41I would like to highly appreciate the draft Ashgabat Declaration prepared by our Turkmen colleagues.

00:53It is intended to be an important outcome of our joint work during this forum.

01:00Russia and Ikebukly support this document and its firm commitment to the key principle of

01:05the international relations enshrined in the UN Charter.

01:09This includes the commitment to peaceful relations and non-interference in internal affairs, as well

01:20beyond world views, traditions and religions.

01:56which it intends to use without Moscow's consent.
