During the call, bilateral relations, regional and global issues, and the need to strengthen cooperation in these areas were stressed.

Sweden's potential membership in NATO was also discussed during the call, which covered the most recent developments in Russia.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that, while Sweden is taking steps in the right direction, particularly with the amendment in anti-terrorism legislation, supporters of the PKK/PYD/YPG in Sweden continue to freely organise demonstrations praising terrorism, recruit members, and provide financial resources to terrorist organisations, and that this is unacceptable for Türkiye.
