US Senator Chris Coons Marks 100 Years of Turkiye-US Ties at New York Event

US Senator Chris Coons praised a century of relations between Turkey and the United States at an event held in New York, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency.

Coons described the relationship as a "deep and meaningful partnership and friendship" spanning 100 years, the agency reported, and pointed to business ties between the two countries as a central element that has helped cement the relationship over the decades.

The event was held in New York around the time of the United Nations General Assembly's High-level Week, which brings together officials, diplomats and business figures from around the world.

Diplomatic relationship spans a century

Turkey and the United States established formal diplomatic relations in the 1920s, and the two countries have since been linked through NATO membership, trade and security cooperation, even as the relationship has periodically faced strain over regional policy disagreements.

Further details of Coons' remarks, including other participants or the full agenda of the New York event, were not immediately available.
