BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 19. The Organization
of Turkic States (OTS) is working on a multilateral agreement on
food security, Deputy Secretary General of the Organization of
Turkic States (OTS) Sadi Jafarov said at an event titled "From
Global Goals to Local Action: Regional Initiatives to Strengthen
Sustainable Agrifood Systems," Trend reports.
“Ensuring food security is a priority for every OTS Member
State. In this regard, we are currently working on a multilateral
agreement on food security within the framework of the Organization
of Turkic States.
This agreement aims to address common food security challenges
such as access to nutritious food, poverty reduction, and
stabilization of food prices,” he said.
Jafarov expressed gratitude to Azerbaijan and other OTS Member
States for their support in launching the OTS Forum on Climate
Resilient Villages.
“We hope that the declaration will give impetus to our efforts
to strengthen the capacity of villages to increase their
resilience, improve food security, and promote sustainable
development with innovative technologies.
By developing climate-resilient villages in Turkic states, we
can significantly improve the quality of life and stimulate
economic growth.
This will be achieved by improving digital infrastructure and
public services and utilizing clean energy sources such as solar,
wind, and hydropower,” he said.
The Organization of Turkic States (OTS), previously known as the
Turkic Council or the Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking
States, is an intergovernmental entity that includes all but one of
the internationally recognized Turkic sovereign nations. The
primary objective is to foster extensive collaboration among the
Turkic nations. The General Secretariat of OTS is situated in
Istanbul, Türkiye.
