Diplomatic Workers' Day in Turkmenistan
February 18 · Level 1 · #2078 of 2238
Diplomatic Workers' Day in Turkmenistan honours those who represent the country abroad and negotiate on its behalf: ambassadors, consuls and the staff of the foreign ministry.
How it is celebrated: formal meetings are held at the foreign ministry in Ashgabat, the best staff receive awards, and colleagues pay tribute to veterans of the diplomatic service.
Turkmenistan's foreign policy rests on its status of permanent neutrality, which the UN General Assembly recognised in a resolution of 12 December 1995.
