President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with President Joe Biden of the U.S. on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Vilnius.
In brief remarks prior to the meeting, President Erdoğan thanked President Biden for his call to congratulate him on his re-election, and said: “I am of the opinion that it is now time to have negotiations at the presidential level within the context of the strategic mechanism. I see this meeting, occurring on the margin of NATO, as the first step of this. Our previous meetings were like warm-up sessions, and now we are starting a new process. This new process is a five-year-long process for me. And now, you are also preparing for the elections. I wish you success during the preparations.”
