It also highlights technological collaboration in areas such as digital transformation, critical raw materials, joint research, and innovation.
Omuraliev noted that environmental sustainability remains a priority, with the declaration stressing the importance of green energy corridors, regional security, international law, and unified responses to geopolitical challenges like the situation in Afghanistan.
