Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will lead a delegation to the third Turkey-Africa Ministerial Review Conference next week, aiming to further strengthen bilateral relations with 14 African nations.
The conference, scheduled for November 2-3, will focus on deepening cooperation in various fields, including trade, investment, security, and development.
A joint statement and the 2022-2024 Joint Implementation Report will be adopted at the end of the meeting.
Turkey has been actively engaging with African countries over the past two decades, fostering strong partnerships based on mutual respect and shared interests.
The country’s Africa Partnership Policy emphasizes equal partnership, mutual benefit, and African solutions for African problems.
Turkey’s unique approach, free from a colonial past and excessive debt pressure, has resonated well with African nations.
The country has also been actively involved in capacity-building, training, and providing defense industry products to African countries, particularly in the fight against terrorism.
As Turkey continues to expand its footprint in Africa, it is poised to play a significant role in the continent’s development and security.
