To the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov!

Dear President of Turkmenistan,

We cordially congratulate you on the successful holding of the international ice hockey tournament in Ashgabat from April 15 to 20, 2024!

We wish you further success in implementing initiatives aimed at strengthening friendly and fraternal relations between peoples and developing international sports cooperation!

Dear President of Turkmenistan,

Turkmenistan has consistently created wide opportunities and all conditions for holding international sports events, and modern specialized facilities are being built that meet international standards. A vivid proof of this is the successful holding of a number of prestigious competitions in the Olympic town of Ashgabat in cooperation with international sports organizations, including the V Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, the World Championships in weightlifting and kurash, regional sports tournaments, as well as the International Rally "Amul – Khazar 2018".

We are convinced that the organization of an international ice hockey tournament at a high level in a modern winter Sports complex will increase the authority of Turkmenistan on the world stage as a sports power, as well as make a great contribution to the development of hockey.

In this regard, given that Turkmenistan has become the center of major sports competitions, we firmly believe that it is appropriate to declare white marble Ashgabat the international sports capital within the framework of such a prestigious organization as the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Dear President of Turkmenistan,

We express our sincere gratitude for the hospitality and warm welcome provided to us, for organizing high-level competitions held in the spirit of friendship and brotherhood in sunny Turkmenistan thanks to your support. We will never forget your wonderful country and kind-hearted people, who made an indelible impression on us.
