The Rector of the International University for the Humanities and Development welcomed guests and emphasized the strategic partnership with United Nations in achieving the global Agenda 2030.

The students learned how UN was established, what the global priorities are and how UN in Turkmenistan supports the Government to achieve national priorities aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals with its core principle ‘leaving no one behind”.

The Resident Coordinator invited everyone to take one-minute online survey empowering them to make their voices heard, the survey is available at www.un75.online. 

 “It is vital that peoples’ voices are heard at this crucial time for the world. Collectively, the dialogues represent the largest-ever exercise in gathering public opinion and the voices of young people are foremost important” mentioned Ms. Elena Panova.

The students also took part at the interactive quiz session and were awarded by UN Resident Coordinator and the Rector of the University.

The views and ideas generated through the survey will be presented to world leaders and senior UN officials at a high-profile event during the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2020.
