Hungarian Water Management Expertise and the Organization of Turkic States

Hungarian cooperation with the Organization of Turkic States is founded on a variety of subjects, with water management perhaps being one of the most significant. Specifically, this problem appears across Central Asia, where environmental and security concerns about countries’ water supplies pose a critical challenge to the region. Hungary, owing to its own water supply vulnerabilities, has developed internationally renowned expertise in this field. Consequently, Hungary is uniquely situated to assist member states of the Organization of Turkic States on this issue. In practice, water diplomacy has deepened Hungarian cooperation with the Turkic World, and fostered positive diplomatic relations with the countries of Central Asia.
