TURKESTAN, Kazakhstan, May 15. Today, Turkic
states must strengthen cooperation in the areas of the economy and
investment, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said at an
informal OTS summit in Turkestan, Trend's special correspondent reports.
He noted that the global economy remains unstable and
unpredictable.
"International geopolitical dynamics are shifting, and
competition is intensifying at both the global and regional levels.
Armed conflicts and wars continue unabated. All of this, as we can
see, is having a negative impact on the global economy. The
countries of our region are already beginning to feel the
consequences of the situation in the Middle East,” the President of
Kazakhstan said.
Tokayev stated that in such difficult times, the unity of the
Turkic states takes on special significance.
“Our countries are united by a shared centuries-old history,
spiritual values, and fraternal ties. I believe that today, given
the demands of the times, Turkic states must strengthen cooperation
in the fields of the economy and investment, as well as join forces
in the name of common interests.
In this regard, it is particularly important that today’s
meeting is dedicated to issues of artificial intelligence and
digital development,” Tokayev added.
