This article analyzes the prospects for advancing and strengthening Uzbekistan’s national interests within the framework of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). The study examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of national interest, the role of the OTS in regional integration, and the opportunities it provides for Uzbekistan in the fields of economic cooperation, political engagement, and transport-logistics development. The findings demonstrate that the OTS serves not only as a platform for cooperation based on cultural and historical affinity but also as an important institutional mechanism for promoting Uzbekistan’s national interests.
