President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with President Pedro Sánchez of the Government of Spain.
The call addressed the Türkiye-Spain bilateral relations as well as regional and global matters.
President Erdoğan congratulated Mr. Sánchez on the Spanish National Football Team’s World Cup victory.
Noting that he deems very valuable the joy the people of Gaza, who watched the match amid the rubble in Gaza, displayed following Spain’s championship, President Erdoğan stated that Spain’s conscientious and moral stance on the Palestinian issue has also been embraced by football fans across the world.
President Erdoğan expressed his happiness to have hosted Mr. Sánchez in Ankara on the occasion of the NATO Ankara Summit.
President Erdoğan added that he would be pleased to welcome Mr. Sánchez to Türkiye once again for the Türkiye-Spain Intergovernmental Summit in early 2027.
