In his speech at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation forum in Kazan, the National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, put forward a significant initiative in the field of education and enlightenment.
Highlighting humanitarian cooperation with ISESCO as a priority area of foreign policy of the country, Hero-Arkadag proposed launching a large-scale program, Islamic poetic dialogue: wisdom and connection of the ages.
The project aims to systematically introduce the global public to the philosophical and literary heritage of the Muslim world from antiquity to the present day.The historical peculiarity of Islamic philosophical thought is its lyrical and poetic reflection.
Therefore, as a first step, we propose considering the creation of a World anthology of islamic poetry, which would include works by prominent poets, thinkers, and philosophers of the Muslim world, as well as those authors who feel a connection to Islam, the Islamic cultural code, and worldview, said the National Leader of the Turkmen people.
At the same time, it was emphasised that Turkmenistan remains committed to strengthening intercivilisational dialogue and promoting humanistic ideals in international relations.
