On the path to perfection

The President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted in the Address to the Turkmen athletes, ‘Following the heroic and victorious path of our ancestors, you should demonstrate your skills at the international events and win medals.

SPORTS DIPLOMACY IN ADDRESSING CHALLENGES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

In today’s world, sport is a significant component of international cooperation that contributes greatly to building trust between nations.

In the current international political environment, sports diplomacy is increasingly characterised as an effective tool of “soft power” that enables the state to fulfil various tasks, including important and complex ones, and solve problems in the international arena.
