Member states of the Organization of Turkic States gathered in Samarkand, where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization was held two months ago. Of course, these steps were followed with interest in world politics, and Uzbekistan was recognized as a country that discusses problems and finds solutions. Behind these political achievements are enormous efforts, strategies and, above all, far-sighted views and approaches.

      There is no doubt that this organization, which is still in its infancy, will eventually become as influential an institution as the European Union in the international arena. An organization representing a large population and power, in addition to political and economic achievements in a multipolar world, gives the Turkic world the opportunity to more strongly express its historical and cultural values. The organization, whose goal is to develop international cooperation in Central Asia, in particular, focuses on foreign policy research aimed at strengthening peace and stability in the region, expanding cooperation and unlocking the common development potential.

      We rejoice in the achievements of the Uzbek people, united around their national leader, and we hope that his path will be bright.
