A common language, culture, historical heritage, and traditions unite the countries of the Turkic world and have laid the foundation for broader cooperation. How to further develop this cooperation amid global challenges, rapid digitalization, and other changes was discussed in Astana at the panel session ‘Turkic World Dialogues: Shared Future, Shared Vision.’ The event brought together representatives of diplomatic missions of the member states of the Organization of Turkic States, government officials, experts from think tanks, and Turkic studies scholars. Ahead of the 13th OTS Summit, slated for late October in Ankara, experts discussed specific areas of integration, from the transit potential of the Middle Corridor to the digitalization of economies and energy and trade networks. Higher education and academic exchanges were also among the issues discussed.
«Over 13,000 Kazakh students are currently studying in
Türkiye, while Turkish students are also pursuing their education in
Kazakhstan. Educational and academic exchanges are of great importance. The
next step is to strengthen cooperation among researchers. We need to establish
a joint research index accessible to both Kazakh and Turkish scholars. This
would allow researchers from the two countries to freely explore each other’s
work and develop joint research projects,» noted Mustafa Kapucu,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Türkiye to Kazakhstan.
