This article analyzes the prospects for the sustainable development of regional initiatives proposed by Central Asian states within the Organization of Turkic States. The study focuses on evaluating the institutional and economic foundations of projects in the fields of transport and logistics connectivity, trade and economic convergence, and digital cooperation. The research methodology includes comparative and institutional analysis, as well as content analysis of official documents. The findings indicate that the sustainability of regional initiatives is closely linked to the alignment of national interests, the continuity of financial support, and the practical effectiveness of coordination mechanisms. The conclusions of the article provide a basis for developing practical recommendations aimed at deepening regional cooperation in Central Asia.
