On November 10, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov departed for a working visit to the Republic of Türkiye to participate in the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 31).
To depart for the Republic of Türkiye, the Hero-Arkadag traveled from the offices of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan to the Arkadag International Airport.
At the airport, the Hero-Arkadag held a conversation with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Türkiye to Turkmenistan Şener Cebeci.
Highlighting the significant personal contribution of the Hero-Arkadag to strengthening the traditionally friendly Turkmen-Turkish relations, the diplomat wished the National Leader of the Turkmen people a successful visit.
The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted that the interstate dialogue—rooted in a shared history, language, and the spiritual and moral values of both nations—has reached a qualitatively new level, with its content becoming increasingly enriched.
Congratulating the Ambassador on his appointment to this high-level diplomatic post, the National Leader of the Turkmen people wished him success in fulfilling this important mission. The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has been held since 1995, the Hero-Arkadag noted, expressing his confidence that this forum—of universal significance and currently hosted by the Republic of Türkiye—would be a success.
The Hero-Arkadag also mentioned that a meeting with the President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, would take place during the visit.

In this regard, the National Leader of the Turkmen people highlighted the participation of Turkish companies in the implementation of construction projects in Turkmenistan.
The Republic of Türkiye is one of Turkmenistan’s key trade and economic partners. Joint projects in the energy, transport, industrial, and construction sectors hold a special place in the cooperation between the two states.
Noting the significance of the working visit of the Hero-Arkadag for the further development of fraternal Turkmen-Turkish relations, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Şener Cebeci emphasized that the Republic of Türkiye consistently supports the conceptual ideas and noble initiatives of the National Leader of the Turkmen people. In this context, the diplomat once again wished the Hero-Arkadag a safe journey and a successful visit.
The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan was seen off by officials at the international airport.
A few hours later, the aircraft of the Hero-Arkadag landed at the international airport in the city of Antalya. At the airport, the National Leader of the Turkmen people was warmly welcomed by official representatives of the Republic of Türkiye and members of our country’s official delegation.
