Foreign Policy
Turkmenistan's foreign policy is defined by its permanent neutrality, recognized by the UN General Assembly in 1995 and reaffirmed in 2015. It refuses to join military alliances (it is the only Central Asian state outside the CSTO and only an SCO observer). Turkmenistan focuses on energy export diversification -- seeking alternatives to Chinese dependence through the TAPI pipeline to South Asia and a potential Trans-Caspian pipeline to Europe. It engages minimally with international organizations and maintains one of the world's most closed diplomatic postures.
