TEHRAN - Turkmenistan's president has conveyed his heartfelt congratulations to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov, the President of Turkmenistan, has sent a cordial message to President Raisi, extending warm wishes for Eid al-Fitr. 

In his message, Berdimuhamedov expressed sincere hopes that this auspicious occasion would serve to bolster mutual understanding, unity, and tranquility within the Islamic Ummah.

Berdimuhamedov also conveyed his best wishes for the happiness and continued success of the Iranian people. 

He expressed optimism that Eid al-Fitr, a celebration steeped in centuries of tradition symbolizing profound spiritual values such as compassion, generosity, and moral integrity, would further enhance solidarity and peace across the Islamic world.

Back in June 2022, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei met with Serdar Berdimuhamedov. 

During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei called for deepening relations in the interest of both countries. “The policy of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to expand relations with neighboring countries, and this is a completely correct policy,” he said. 

He stressed that overcoming the obstacles depends on the serious determination of the two countries to expand relations. “Of course, friendly relations between Iran and Turkmenistan are opposed by regional and international opponents, but obstacles must be overcome,” Ayatollah Khamenei added. 

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized, “The Joint Cooperation Commission between the two countries should be seriously active and the agreements should be finalized with continuous follow-up.”

The meeting was also attended by Iranian President Seyed Ebrahim Raisi.
