Erdoğan to attend NATO summit in Washington D.C.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will be in the U.S. capital from July 9-11 to attend the NATO leaders summit.
Erdoğan is anticipated to engage in bilateral meetings with counterparts to explore avenues for bolstering cooperation. Furthermore, he is expected to underscore Türkiye's concerns regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Israel's military actions, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and seek collaboration in the domains of counterterrorism, economy, and trade.
Erdoğan has been vocal in urging global powers to take decisive measures to halt Israel's violations. He has criticized Western powers for their support of Israel's offensives, particularly in Lebanon, and cautioned against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategies, warning of potential catastrophic consequences.
The forthcoming NATO summit presents a pivotal opportunity for President Erdoğan to advocate for Türkiye's interests and discuss critical geopolitical and security matters with fellow leaders. (ILKHA)
