Within the framework of the Solidarity Forum of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) of the member countries of the Organization of Turkic States, the First Azerbaijan–Kazakhstan NGO Cooperation Forum was held, APA reports.
At the forum, NGO representatives from both countries discussed the prospects for the development of Azerbaijan–Kazakhstan relations in this field.

“Joint cooperation among civil societies, states, and business representatives helps resolve problems more quickly and effectively,” Ismagulova emphasized.
Speaking next, Assiya Tikeeva, Director of the “Community HUB” Public Fund, stated that NGOs not only address acute social challenges but also shape a new positive perception in society toward vulnerable groups and children: “By working together, we can bring our societies to a more just state and help achieve sustainable development. For advancing toward a shared future with Azerbaijan, it is essential for our NGOs to join hands.”

Let us mark this forum — November 24 — as the NGO Day of the Turkic States.”
