BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 13. As part of COP29 in Baku, Trend News Agency proudly presents COP for Hope, a special project offering an unparalleled platform to hear from world leaders and trailblazers in politics, economics, science, and ecology, all united by a shared commitment to addressing today’s pressing climate challenges.
The Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) Kubanychbek Omuraliev is our interviewer for today.
The Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) told Trend that Azerbaijan's hosting of such a conference as COP29 is a source of pride for the Turkic world.
He observed that COP29 stands as a pivotal gathering for the entire tapestry of the Turkic realm.
“At present, leaders of the world's states, including Turkic states, have assembled in Azerbaijan.
Two important documents related to green energy were signed at the meetings of the OTS. One of them is the Turkic Green Vision, and the other is the establishment of the Green Council,” Omuraliev said.
The Secretary-General also emphasized that within the framework of COP29, a meeting of the Ministers of Ecology and Agriculture of the OTS will be held.
Omuraliev also remarked that Azerbaijan, the gracious host of the gathering, orchestrated the conference with the finesse of a master conductor leading a symphony.
