President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had a videoconference with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
Türkiye-Germany relations and regional matters were discussed during the talk.
Wishing that the general election process in Germany may yield auspicious results, President Erdoğan voiced his belief that Türkiye-Germany relations would improve on the basis of common sense and strategic perspective also in the new period.
Noting that the impetus, achieved in Türkiye-EU relations, should not be lost, President Erdoğan said that Greece persisted in its provocative acts, the push-back incidents in the Aegean, which were against the international law and conscience, continued to increase, and that Türkiye, despite everything, maintained its restrained attitude to protect the positive agenda.
Stating that ways to continue to support Afghanistan in the most effective manner by also using NATO’s means and capabilities should be discussed, President Erdoğan added that Türkiye would continue to support the Government of National Unity for Libya’s stability, and that Türkiye stood ready to cooperate with Germany within this framework.
