Addressing the 76th session of the UN General Assembly, Erdoğan said: “We maintain our determination in the European Union membership process. We are in solidarity with the Continent and the African Union also today, drawing on the strength of our deep-rooted ties with Africa, which date back centuries. With our Asia Anew initiative, we are consolidating Turkey's unifying position between Europe and Asia. Likewise, we attach great importance to developing our relations with Latin America and the Caribbean region, on bilateral and multilateral platforms. Turkey has been and will continue to be alongside every step taken towards a safer, peaceful, prosperous, and equitable world for everyone.” (ILKHA)
