implementation of joint transport projects – railway and road
corridors connecting Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Türkiye, the
development of East–West and North–South transit corridors, the
construction of modern logistics hubs, and the introduction of
digital solutions in customs procedures. We see that this will have
a tangible effect for all OTS countries,” the ministry added.
”Digital economy and technological integration were also listed
among the priorities. “And, undoubtedly, the future belongs to the
digital economy. Kyrgyzstan proposes developing a unified digital
space within the OTS – from e-commerce and fintech to cybersecurity
and e-government. We want startups, IT companies, and young
specialists from Turkic countries to interact freely, exchange
experiences, and jointly bring technological solutions to the
market,” the representative noted.
The development of tourism and the creative economy is
considered one of the key areas of cooperation. “A major area of
importance is the development of tourism and the creative economy.
Kyrgyzstan sees tourism as one of the most promising sectors for
expanding cooperation among the countries of the Organization of
Turkic States,” the ministry emphasized.
The ministry also highlighted the creation of a techno-hub and
the development of an innovation ecosystem.
“On October 10, the Ministry of Digital Development and
Innovative Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Central Asia
Capital Fund signed a Memorandum of Cooperation, laying the
foundation for the country’s first techno-hub. The creation of the
techno-hub will become a center of attraction for growing
companies. We see this project as an important step toward forming
a new technological ecosystem in Kyrgyzstan. Its goal is to create
conditions under which engineering talent and innovative ideas can
develop and be implemented within the country, strengthening our
national potential,” the ministry added.
Finally, the ministry identified economic security and
industrial diplomacy as strategic priorities.

strategic areas. Kyrgyzstan considers these issues to be key to
sustainable development and stability in the region,” the ministry
