At the launch of National Action Plan on Human Rights in Turkmenistan which took place on 16 March 2016, British Ambassador Mr Sanjay Wadvani said:

We congratulate the President and the nation of Turkmenistan on the signing of this important document. Many people worked very hard on this process including the UNDP and the inter-agency commission.
