"The Turkic world, with a population of 175 million, possesses significant economic potential. In 2024, our combined GDP is expected to exceed $2.1 trillion. These figures reflect the dynamism of our region and the growing social activity."

"Integrating the Turkic world across all sectors is a key priority. Sustainable economic growth is impossible without a strong labor market and systems that protect the welfare of our people."
