President Erdoğan, Chairman of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan Abdel Fattah al-Burhan talk over phone

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with Chairman of the Sovereignty Council of Sudan Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

The call addressed the Türkiye-Sudan relations as well as regional and global matters.

Recalling that Türkiye initiated the Ankara Process for the resolution of the conflict between Somalia and Ethiopia, President Erdoğan noted that the recent agreement significantly contributes to peace in the region.

Stating that Türkiye can also step in to resolve the disputes between Sudan and the United Arab Emirates, President Erdoğan highlighted Türkiye’s main principles as ensuring peace and stability in Sudan, protecting its territorial integrity and sovereignty, and preventing the country from becoming an area of foreign intervention.

Noting that the Syrian people have reached the stage of deciding their own future after 13 years of humanitarian crisis, President Erdoğan said that Türkiye will contribute to this process, that it supports the preservation of Syria's political unity and territorial integrity, and that this support will continue to ensure that the interim government takes inclusive, comprehensive and correct steps, serves the Syrian people and does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
