As Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), I express our deepest gratitude to the European Commission, the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and all participants of the International Donors' Conference held in Brussels on March 20, 2023, for their valuable support extended to the earthquake-affected people in Türkiye and Syria.
We commend the collective efforts, resulting in over €7 billion in pledges, reflecting the global community's unwavering commitment to providing relief, recovery, and rehabilitation that will be delivered through humanitarian aid, infrastructure development, and capacity building.
We also highly appreciate the OTS countries for having demonstrated since the very first day of the disaster their solidarity with the Government and the brotherly people of Türkiye by contributing to search and rescue efforts, humanitarian assistance as well as providing strong moral support.
The Member and Observer States of the OTS have also made significant contributions to the Conference and continue delivering bilateral assistance in these regions.
As the OTS Secretariat, we strongly emphasize the importance and continuation of such international initiatives demonstrating the power of unity and collaboration in overcoming such challenges and adversities.
