He said the Center, located in Ashgabat, actively monitors and analyses situation in the region, actively participates in various events dedicated to important issues on Central Asia’s development.

Turkmen leader said: “We want to see Afghanistan peaceful and developing state, good neighbour and partner for all states of the region.”
