Turkish Foreign Minister and UK Foreign Secretary Meet in New York
The talks took place on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
Turkey's foreign minister and the United Kingdom's foreign secretary held talks in New York on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, according to Anadolu Agency.
The meeting is one of numerous bilateral discussions taking place this week as world leaders and top diplomats gather in New York for the annual UN gathering, which typically serves as a venue for face-to-face diplomacy outside formal proceedings.
Details on the specific agenda of the Turkey-UK talks were not disclosed. Foreign ministers frequently use the General Assembly week to address a range of bilateral and multilateral issues, from trade and security cooperation to regional conflicts.
Neither side has released a formal statement summarizing the outcomes of the meeting. Turkey and the UK maintain regular diplomatic contact as NATO allies and trading partners, and such sideline meetings are a routine feature of the UNGA calendar.
Further details may emerge as both governments issue readouts of the discussion.
