The delegation of Turkmenistan participated in the 52nd Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), held on October 17–18 in Baghdad.

The participants discussed current issues related to expanding political, trade, economic and humanitarian cooperation among OIC member states.

An important outcome of the session was the adoption, at the initiative of Turkmenistan, of the resolution entitled “The Role of the Policy of Neutrality in Maintaining and Strengthening International Peace, Security and Sustainable Development within the OIC Region and Worldwide.”

The delegation of Turkmenistan delivered a statement outlining the country's priority areas of cooperation with the OIC.
