Meanwhile, Presidency’s Head of Communications Burhanettin Duran issued a statement regarding President Erdoğan’s diplomatic engagements.
In a message on his NSoSyal account, Head of Communications Duran stated:
“As part of the 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan conducted intensive diplomatic engagements.
The reflections of ‘Erdoğan Diplomacy’ were once again strongly felt in Antalya, where the heart of diplomacy beats.
In meetings held with leaders, a wide range of issues were addressed—from bilateral relations to trade, from infrastructure to the defence industry, and from energy to strategic cooperation.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza, the attacks carried out by genocidal Israel, the ceasefire process along the Iran–U.S.–Israel axis, as well as regional and global developments were comprehensively addressed.
Our President delivered strong messages both in his speech and in his bilateral contacts in favour of global peace, regional stability, and international cooperation.
It has once again been demonstrated that diplomacy is conducted both on the ground and at the negotiating table, by producing solutions to real problems. There is a Türkiye that not only speaks but produces results, demonstrating its national stance on every platform.
Under the leadership of our President, our country will continue to be the voice of global conscience, the key to peace, and a founding will in peace building.”
