The high guests were treated to a spectacular performance by the renowned national equestrian group “Galkynyş,” showcasing the grace and agility of Ahal-Teke horses. The “Galkynyş” equestrian team, celebrated worldwide, recently achieved remarkable success, earning a gold award at the 47th International Circus Festival in Monte-Carlo and captivating audiences at the International Ethnosport Festival in Istanbul.

In a gesture of deep respect and goodwill toward the people of Uzbekistan, the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presented President Shavkat Mirziyoyev with a symbolic gift—a camel and its calf.

The cultural event underscored the warm relations and mutual respect among Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan, setting a positive tone for the trilateral summit.
