WARSAW, November 10. /Dunyo IA/. Polish information and analytical portal Kierunek Kaukaz has published an article entitled “Uzbekistan and Türkiye Strengthen Strategic Partnership at the Organization of Turkic States Summit”, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

According to the publication, the working visit of President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Türkiye at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan marked an important step towards strengthening cooperation among the countries of the Turkic world. The highlight of the visit was his participation in the 13^th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), held in Ankara under the theme “Turkic Century: Unity in Language, Thought and Action”.

Following the talks between the two leaders, five documents were signed covering the expansion of trade preferences, the exchange of advance customs data, social security for citizens and the establishment of a high-level Business Support Council. Bilateral trade reached $3.1 billion in 2025 and the presidents set a target of increasing this figure to $5 billion. Turkish contractors have implemented 333 projects in Uzbekistan worth more than $9.5 billion.

Publication also highlights President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s address at the summit. He proposed developing a program comprising 100 strategic joint investment and industrial projects, making more effective use of the resources of the Turkic Investment Fund, developing the Middle Corridor and a unified network of logistics centers and expanding cooperation with third countries under the “OTS+” format.

Article notes that the visit reflects Uzbekistan’s efforts to strengthen its role as an active participant in regional initiatives, while, for Ankara, its partnership with Tashkent is an important element of Türkiye’s policy in Central Asia. Publication concludes that if the initiatives put forward at the summit are translated into concrete projects, OTS could further strengthen its position on the regional cooperation map.
