About International Peace and Trust Forum

International Peace and Trust Forum is a global conference in which the leaders of the world, ministers, representatives of UN agencies and organisations aimed at worldwide peace are united to talk about the possibilities to reduce the tensions and encourage the development of dialogues between countries.

This forum was conducted under the International Year of Peace and Trust 2025 of the UN.

The development was a milestone to Turkmenistan, the nation possessing the fourth biggest natural gas deposits in the world. In 1995, when Saparmurat Niyazov, the first president of this country, rejected both the West and the Russian influence, Turkmenistan officially proclaimed itself neutral.
