President Erdoğan continued,
"I sincerely and profoundly appreciate your efforts in these endeavours, which allow our unity and solidarity to grow stronger than ever before. Austria, as you know, has been through a period of great difficulties. It appears to be in a period of recovery at present. Inshallah, we will increase our high-level efforts in a new way in the future, and we will strengthen high-level political connections and political relations in a totally different way. But you are laying a vital foundation here. As a result, preserving and strengthening this foundation in the future will instil a different kind of confidence in us. As we have always said, we have an outstanding unity. Carrying this well-known motto of one nation, one flag, one homeland, one state together with the notion of standing united, strong and as brothers for a united Türkiye to the future shall make us even more powerful."

On Sunday, inshallah, we will travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From there, we will travel to Senegal, and with these visits, we will put Türkiye's relations in Africa on a much firmer footing."
