Connectivity in the Turkic way – a new cooperation format in the Multipolar world?
MKI Perspective – Written by László Vasa, Péter Pál Kránitz, Sándor Seremet & Ibrahim Mammadov
Bishkek hosts the 11th Summit of the Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), a transformative gathering that highlights the organization’s evolution from regional cooperation into a cornerstone of Eurasian connectivity. Initially rooted in shared linguistic and cultural heritage, the OTS has grown into a robust platform for mutual progress, with member states setting aside diverse political orientations to promote shared goals and mutual respect. Hungary, holding observer status, could play a pivotal role in the OTS’s future. Hungary’s pragmatic, multi-directional foreign policy positions it as both a bridge and hub, fostering cooperation between East and West, and paving new pathways for diplomatic engagement.
