In a wide-ranging interview, the Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) reflects on the recent historic informal summit in Budapest - the first hosted by an observer state and a symbolic bridge between East and West. He highlights Hungary’s deepening involvement, including joining the Turkic Investment Fund and hosting multiple high-level events. The conversation underscores expanding cooperation among member states across over 40 sectors - from foreign policy and trade to youth programs and space exploration. With inter-state trade rising from 1% to 7% in 25 years, and initiatives like the Middle Corridor and digital partnership agreements gaining traction, the OTS is positioning itself as a major regional force with ambitions for stronger institutional foundations and a more unified economic, cultural, and strategic future.
