The results of Kazakhstan's chairmanship in
the Organization of Turkic States were summarized today by President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev at the OTS Summit in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz Republic. This year, the
organization is celebrating its 15th anniversary. As President Tokayev
emphasized, over this period, the OTS has become an authoritative structure on
the global stage.
«Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the OTS was held
under the motto TURKTIME! We focused on strengthening the unity of the Turkic
world and expanding comprehensive cooperation. Specific outcomes were achieved,
a number of projects were implemented, and more than 80 events were organized. Astana
hosted the fifth World Nomad Games, which vividly demonstrated the rich nomadic
civilization of the Great Steppe to the world. A historic event was the
approval of a common Turkic alphabet,» Tokayev noted.
The volume of mutual trade turnover between
Turkic countries this year exceeded $45 billion, with more potential ahead.
Contacts have been established in the trade, economic, energy and financial
sectors within the Organization. According to President Tokayev, the work of
the launched Turkic Investment Fund also contributes to deepening integration.
The Council of Central Banks of the OTS member states, which is being
established, will also support this effort. This decision has been endorsed by
all parties. Strengthening transport and logistic ties, as noted by the Head of
State, will also bring effective results. He also emphasized the importance of
developing human capital. Another proposal from the Head of State is the
organization of mutual broadcasting of cable TV channels to create a common
information space for the Turkic world. Following the Summit, the parties
signed eight documents. The Kyrgyz Republic will assume the OTS chairmanship in
2025.
