00:00of the Republic of Turkmenistan, Deputy Prime Ministers, Ministers, ladies and gentlemen,
00:18the pleasure on our part to host the President of an important great country, Central Asia.
00:28I've been a friend of Malaysia, a close friend, and we both extend our commitment to ensure
00:38that the level of cooperation is extended to joint commission between the two countries,
00:45and the foreign ministers will follow through early next year for this joint collaboration.
00:51Since the last visit in 2016, by Excellency Gurbanguly Berdimohabadov, the then President
00:59and now National Leader, we have seen a strengthening of this collaboration, and also we have seen
01:07their willingness and support to our industries, particularly Petronas Regali, and I must on
01:16behalf of Malaysian government and people, extend my appreciation and thanks and assure
01:26the President that this collaboration will be extremely meaningful to ensure the mutual
01:32benefit and success for both countries.
01:35I am particularly impressed by the President's interest not only to enhance trade and investments
01:44between the countries, but his very comprehensive view of what development entails, including
01:52the cultural sphere and his promotion for international peace that we fully support.
01:59And in order to reciprocate and to show our admiration for the great country and the leadership
02:06of the President and the people, we also would like to extend our understanding and appreciation
02:13to their great literary poet, now celebrating the 300th anniversary, Maktingguli Firaje.
02:24Maktingguli Firaje is a known and great poet, not only of Turkmenistan, and I think if it
02:31is expanded, you see the commitment to justice, to peace, to character, against greed and abuse.
02:39And I am pleased to say that Dewan Bahasa Dambustaka has agreed and working on the translation
02:47of a few of the great works of the great poet into Bahasa, so that it will be popularly
02:56known here to give meaning to that sort of collaboration, comprehensive to Muslim countries,
03:06to commit to development and peace.
