– Undoubtedly, this is a great event. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all participants on this important date. OTG has become an authoritative structure in a short period of time, consolidating its status on the world stage. I believe that all this has been achieved thanks to our unbreakable unity and solidarity. I am sure that today's summit will contribute to further strengthening cooperation," the Head of State said.The President summed up the results of our country's chairmanship in the OTG.

– Kazakhstan's chairmanship in the Organization of Turkic States was held under the motto TURKTIME! We paid special attention to strengthening the unity of the Turkic world and expanding comprehensive cooperation. Concrete results have been achieved, a number of projects have been implemented, and more than 80 events have been organized. The V World Nomad Games were held in Astana, which clearly demonstrated to the world the rich nomadic civilization of the Great Steppe. The approval of the unified Turkic alphabet was a historic event. Last year, at a meeting in Astana, it was decided to appoint our permanent representatives to the Organization of Turkic States, the relevant regulations are already ready for approval," Kassym–Jomart Tokayev stressed.

As the Head of State noted, contacts have been established within the framework of the Organization in the trade, economic, energy, financial and investment spheres.

– I believe that the effective activity of the Turkic Investment Fund has become an effective step contributing to the deepening of the integration of the Turkic countries. The theme of the current summit proposed by our Kyrgyz brothers, "Strengthening the Turkic world: economic integration, sustainable development, digital future and security for all," meets the interests of all participating countries. Over the past 10 years, the economic ties between the members of the OTG have significantly strengthened. In 2024, the volume of mutual trade turnover exceeded $ 45 billion. We have every opportunity to increase this indicator," the President said.According to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the priority task is to strengthen transport and logistics ties within the framework of the Organization of Turkic States.

– It is necessary to make full use of the potential of the "Middle Corridor", which is of strategic importance for the further economic development of the Turkic world. Therefore, it seems necessary to conclude an agreement that will ensure the sustainable development of cargo transportation along this route. I hope that the participating states will support this initiative," Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said.

The need to deepen cooperation in the field of finance and investment was also emphasized in the speech. According to the Head of State, the Turkic Investment Fund can play a special role in this matter. He said that the parties unanimously supported the initiative to create a Council of Central Banks.

The President of Kazakhstan focused on the importance of human capital development.

– In order to modernize the Turkic civilization, it is necessary to use human resources effectively. It is necessary to create opportunities to unlock the potential of talented youth. Cooperation in the field of science and education should be expanded. At last year's summit, proposals were made to open branches of prestigious higher education institutions in our countries. The result of this was the establishment of a branch of the Turkish Gazi University in Kazakhstan," he said.The Head of our state stressed that the signed agreement on Partnership in the field of digital economy is of great importance for the CIS countries.
