Deputy Ambassador and Chargé d'Affaires of the United Kingdom James Ford made a statement to the OSCE, reaffirming London's commitment to supporting the organization's field presence in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. According to him, the OSCE mission continues practical work across all three security dimensions—military-political, economic-environmental, and human. The British representative noted positive developments in the area of Turkmenistan's state border management, emphasizing the importance of continuing cooperation in this direction. The statement was made during regular dialogue among OSCE participating states on the activities of the organization's field missions in Central Asian countries. The OSCE field presence in Turkmenistan traditionally focuses on strengthening the country's institutional capacity, facilitating reforms, and developing cooperation across a wide range of issues—from border security to environmental and humanitarian initiatives. Britain, as an OSCE participant, regularly provides assessments of the organization's regional offices, reaffirming its intention to continue supporting its activities in participating states. James Ford's statement is viewed as part of broader efforts by Western countries to strengthen the OSCE's role in Central Asia and maintain dialogue with the Turkmenistan government on security and sustainable development issues.
