In his speech, the Head of State highlighted the importance of effectively utilizing the potential of the Turkic states.
“The effectiveness of the Organization’s activities is primarily linked to the implementation of concrete initiatives and mutually beneficial projects aimed at the well-being of our peoples,” Serdar Berdimuhamedov said, speaking at the OTS Summit in Türkiye.
“The Turkic states possess an immense economic potential. To utilize this effectively, we must continue to develop cooperation in sectors such as energy, transport and communications, industry, agriculture, construction, textiles, processing and other areas of the economy,” the President of Turkmenistan noted.
“At the same time, we believe it is advisable to create favorable conditions for encouraging mutual investment, expanding contacts between entrepreneurs and implementing joint production projects,” Serdar Berdimuhamedov continued.
“The advantageous geographical position of our countries in Central Asia opens up broad opportunities for the development of transport corridors connecting the Caspian region, the South Caucasus, the Black Sea region, Türkiye and Europe,” the President of Turkmenistan said.
