Ankara Declaration Highlights TIF’s Role in Regional Economic Integration

The Ankara Declaration, adopted at the 13th Summit of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), commended the activities of the Turkic Investment Fund (TIF) alongside those of other Turkic Cooperation Organizations. It encouraged the Fund, within its mandate, to support and finance projects that advance economic cooperation and integration among Turkic States and to strengthen cooperation with international financial institutions.

The Declaration highlighted transport connectivity, trade, industry, agriculture, digital infrastructure, green growth, and the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) as potential areas for TIF’s support. It also called for closer coordination among Turkic Cooperation Organizations to advance their objectives and implement their decisions more effectively.

The Summit took place in Ankara, Türkiye, on 30 October 2026 under the theme “Turkic Century: Unity in Language, Thought and Deed.” Discussions covered political and economic cooperation, regional connectivity, trade and investment, and coordination among Turkic Cooperation Organizations.

TIF welcomes the recognition of its work and remains committed to working with its Member States and international financing partners to support investments that strengthen regional connectivity and expand opportunities for businesses across the region.
