Kazakh President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took part in the 12th Summit of the Organization of
Turkic States, held in Gabala, Azerbaijan. He emphasized that the OTS has
become an influential and respected organization uniting the friendly Turkic
nations and attracting interest from many countries. President Tokayev
reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s support for the idea of establishing an OTS+ format,
which would expand cooperation and strengthen the organization’s international
standing.
The main goal of the OTS
is to strengthen stability and peace in the region. President Tokayev noted
that the Turkic nations have developed effective cooperation in countering
various threats. However, he emphasized that it is essential not to rest on
these achievements. The member states must work together to confront a new,
borderless challenge –
cyberattacks. According to the Head of State, this can be achieved through the
establishment of a Cybersecurity Council within the Organization. He also
stressed that the foundation of stability and prosperity among the Turkic
nations lies in economic cooperation. President Tokayev called for a focus on
the full implementation of the Turkic World Vision 2040 program and highlighted
the importance of leveraging the potential of the Turkic Investment Fund. In
addition, he underscored the need to further develop transport and logistics
connectivity, including the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.
