I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dear brother, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar, for the warm hospitality and excellent organization of the World Summit.
It gives me great pleasure to extend my most sincere greetings to you on the unique land of Uzbekistan – a land that has been located at the crossroads of ancient cultures and civilizations.
It is my great pleasure to meet with you, my dear brothers, in the unique city of Gabala, which has been one of the important trade and cultural centers of the Great Silk Road since ancient times.
Due to its geographical position, historical ties, and natural resources, the Organization of Turkic States is becoming an increasingly significant platform for cooperation at this new stage of development.

- I first visited Uzbekistan 15 years ago. I returned to Uzbekistan in May of this year to participate in an important investment forum in Tashkent. During my visit, I had the honor of meeting with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. We asked to meet with the leader of Uzbekistan, and he agreed. I was amazed by how humble he is and how sincerely he wants to encourage foreign investors to come to Uzbekistan.
