The chairmanship of the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic
States (TURKPA) has passed from Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan. Ramil Hasanov was
elected Secretary General of the organization. His candidacy was unanimously
supported at the Council meeting held in the Kazakh capital. The Astana
Declaration was also adopted, and future plans were outlined.
«Over the coming year, our key priority will be to
strengthen cooperation in all areas, enhance the organization’s international
standing, and deepen the unity of the Turkic states. In addition, special
attention will be given to expanding cooperation among the TURKPA member
states,» said Yerlan Koshanov, the chairman of the Mazhilis, a lower house of
the Kazakh Parliament.
Notably, mutual trade between the countries reached $42
billion last year, while the total volume of foreign trade exceeded $1
trillion. These figures indicate the strengthening economic ties among the
Turkic states.
