Turkey's deputy foreign ministers, Berris Ekinci and Levent Gumrukcu, held a series of diplomatic meetings in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session, according to Anadolu Agency.
The two officials attended meetings and events as part of Turkey's diplomatic engagement during the high-level UN gathering, which brings together foreign ministers and senior diplomats from around the world each year.
Sidelines diplomacy
The UN General Assembly's annual high-level session in New York is traditionally used by governments to hold bilateral and multilateral talks outside the formal assembly proceedings. Turkish officials have regularly used the sidelines of the gathering to engage with counterparts on regional and international issues.
Anadolu Agency's report did not detail the specific counterparts met or the topics discussed during Ekinci and Gumrukcu's engagements. Turkey's foreign ministry has typically used such sessions to address a range of issues, including regional security, trade and multilateral cooperation.
The deputy ministers' New York visit forms part of Turkey's broader diplomatic activity during the UN General Assembly's high-level week.
