President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with President Pedro Sánchez of the Government of Spain.
The leaders discussed regional and global issues as well as the Türkiye-Spain bilateral relations. President Erdoğan stated that the solidarity displayed by Türkiye and Spain in every area, defense in particular, is welcomed by the two countries’ peoples as well, and that they aim to further advance the two countries’ relations.
Stressing that Türkiye approves neither the acts aimed at totally obliterating Iran nor Iran’s attitude towards the brotherly regional countries, President Erdoğan said that all with conscience should embrace peace and focus on diplomacy.
President Erdoğan added that peace will remain elusive in the region unless Israel’s unlawfulness in Gaza and other places is prevented.
President Erdoğan also drew attention to the importance of the resumption of the negotiations for the termination of the Russia-Ukraine war, and of the international community addressing peace-oriented talks in a more serious manner.
