In her speech, Aktoty Raimkulova spoke about the activities of the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation, the active implementation of the tasks set by the Heads of State of Turkey, the Council of Foreign Ministers and the Turkic cooperation organizations and specified in strategic documents:

"In accordance with the directives of the Astana Summit Declaration, we have successfully completed the reconstruction of the Alikul Osmonov House Museum in Bishkek and the equipping of this cultural center.
Guided by the "Turkic World - 2040" concept and the "TURKTIME" initiative, we are currently preparing a catalog of the cultural heritage of the Turkic world, and at the same time, we have already contributed to the demonstration of the richness of our ancient culture by supporting the holding of the fifth World Nomad Games in Astana.
In cooperation with sister organizations such as TURKSOY and the Turkic Academy, we supported the holding of the international conference "Study and Preservation of the Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Turkic World - from the Perspective of UNESCO". We are currently cooperating with member countries on the implementation of multinational nominations for Gurama and Turkic epics.
Our literary, cultural, and historical heritage has further developed thanks to the successful publication of nine books in the book series "Outstanding Personalities of the Turkic World", "Pearls of Turkish Literature", and "Scientific Pearls of Turkish Literature" established by the Foundation.
We have created a Youtube Channel called TurkDiscovery with high-quality scientific content and are further expanding digital interactions.
UNESCO has dedicated the years 2024-2025 to Mahmud Kashgari's "Divani-Lüğat-et-Türk", one of the main works of Turkish history. In support of this initiative, we will organize international exhibitions to be presented in the countries of the Turkic World throughout 2025. We also plan to hold a scientific conference dedicated to this important work at UNESCO headquarters in Paris by the end of the year.
