Platinum Jubilee Chevening evening in Ashgabat

On 10 June 2022, Her Majesty’s Ambassador Ms Lucia Wilde welcomed more than 20 people to her residence. Guests had either received the UK government’s prestigious Chevening Scholarship Award and studied in the UK, or will be heading there to take up their studies in early autumn this year. The event also offered the opportunity to introduce the 9th British Ambassador Ms Lucia Wilde to the Chevening community.

Welcoming a range of Alumni from 2003 to 2022, the Ambassador highlighted the importance of education and skills, which has always been one of the key priority areas for the Embassy. Ms Wilde herself is a graduate of six British universities, and education has always been something very close to her heart.

Turkmenistan and the United Kingdom marked the 30th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations in January this year and has embarked on a number of events and activities throughout the year. In the United Kingdom and across the world, Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee has been widely celebrated.

The British Ambassador Ms Wilde said:

I’m very pleased to be able to continue the celebration of the Platinum Jubilee here in Ashgabat with Turkmen Chevening Alumni.
