Upon bestowing the degree, President Salonen said that UB is proud to be one of the most cultur- ally diverse universities in the U.S., and that he would be proud to wel- come students from Turkmenistan as well. The visit was followed up by Dr. Ganev’s exchange visit to Turkmenistan, where he participated in a United Nations conference and signed an agreement on cooperation between the State Uni- versity of Turkmenistan and UB. The agreement outlines the general frame- work for exchange of students and fac- ulty between the two institutions. Dr. Ganev commented, however, that con- crete steps are yet to be planned. Known as “the Kuwait of Asia,” Turk- menistan is the world’s fourth-largest producer of natural gas, and the most influential Caspian Sea country. A peaceful policy of neutrality and non- intervention in a region torn by polit- ical and religious conflicts has estab- lished Turkmenistan as a regional bridge-builder between Russia and the Caspian countries. “We are the only nation who has formal diplomatic rela- tions with Afghanistan, and whose neu- trality has been recognized by a UN resolution,” commented Ambassador Ataeva. Upon receipt of the honorary degree, Ambassador Ataeva said that it has been a great honor for her to receive recognition from the University of Bridge- port, whose broad international out- look has provided her with valuable experience and knowledge. ❖ March 2001 Unification News 25 Long-Term Benefit of Blessed Wives Workshop by Daniela Wetherall indeed blessed by incredibly mild and After the singing Father emptied his life should be. beautiful weather which allowed us to wallet completely by giving not only to Day after day I pondered on the pro- ver a month has already rejoice even more so in the Heavenly the mothers but to the children too.
