The crises occurring in our immediate vicinity have once again highlighted the strategic importance of the Turkic world acting in solidarity.
“Elchi” reports that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated this at the informal Summit of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States.
“The crises occurring in our immediate vicinity have once again highlighted the strategic importance of the Turkic world acting in solidarity. We must strengthen our consultation mechanisms and coordination in the face of geopolitical challenges. We consider the implementation of the OTS+ format as soon as possible to be beneficial. Our increasing contacts and those of our ministers confirm that Turkic states have already acquired high-level reflexes in the face of common issues.
As the crisis centered on the Strait of Hormuz shows today, transport projects that connect the Turkic world, primarily the Middle Corridor, will remain our priority for many years to come. We are ready to share the experience we have gained in the defense industry, which we have formed based on high technologies, with the members of our organization. We attach great importance to the regular holding of meetings of defense industry institutions within our organization. We plan to organize the COP31 Climate Conference, which will be held in our country in November, with an approach that highlights the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence and digital technologies. In addition, we are in a transformation process that aims to make maximum use of technological capabilities to support agricultural production,” the Turkish President noted.
