Turkmenistan has secured its first entry in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, following the approval of a historical collection documenting the life and work of Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Adham.
The decision was announced at the programme’s 11th General Meeting and international seminar in Jakarta, where 21 new documentary heritage items were added to the register.
The collection, titled “Archival Sources on the Life and Work of Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Adham”, was submitted by Turkmenistan and approved by the expert jury. Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Adham, who lived during the 8th century, was an early Muslim ascetic and mystic, widely regarded as one of the influential figures in the development of Sufism.
The inclusion of his archival sources marks Turkmenistan's first appearance in the Asia-Pacific regional register of the Memory of the World Programme.
The meeting brought together representatives of countries across the Asia-Pacific region to discuss the preservation and recognition of documentary heritage. It was organised by Indonesia’s National Archives, with the participation of the national UNESCO commissions of Indonesia and the Republic of Korea, as well as the Korea Heritage Service.
Turkmenistan was represented by the executive secretary of its National Commission for UNESCO and a researcher from the Magtymguly Institute of Language, Literature and National Manuscripts of the country’s Academy of Sciences. Participants also signed several international memorandums during the event.
Turkmenistan’s inclusion in the register marks a new milestone in the international recognition of its documentary heritage and its participation in regional efforts to preserve historical records.
