Mirziyoyev Proposes OTS to Adopt Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Commercial Matters
Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed that member states of the Organization of Turkic States develop an agreement on legal assistance in commercial matters. It should ensure the recognition and enforcement of court decisions, while a digital system would facilitate the exchange of requests and documents.
Speaking in Ankara, the President of Uzbekistan outlined measures to expand economic cooperation. Among the proposals is the "Organization of Turkic States Plus" format, where sectoral ministers will participate in preparing joint projects in trade, transport, and investment.
Mirziyoyev also proposed the "Turkic World – 100" program, comprising 100 strategic investment and industrial projects. He identified priorities such as the processing of rare and strategic minerals, the production of equipment for "green" energy, and the manufacturing of high-value-added products.
Other initiatives include a network of logistics complexes of Turkic countries with joint management, the Turkic Tourism Alliance, and a multilateral agreement on mutual travel for citizens. Uzbekistan is prepared to annually allocate 200 educational grants to representatives of Turkic states under the "New Uzbekistan" program, designed to train 500 foreign students through grants.
