ANKARA – Today, we hosted the Bangladesh National Defence College delegation in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the occasion of their visit, a presentation was delivered to our guest outlining the general framework of Turkish Foreign Policy.

During the meeting at Taha Carım Hall, Ms. Meliha Gülce Kumrulu, Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Coordination Deputy Directorate General, was presented to the guests by Bilal Emre Biral, Head of the SAM Department.

Ms. Kumrulu explained the strategic objectives of Turkish Foreign Policy in the “Century of Turkiye” through four main titles: regional peace and security, promoting an environment of prosperity, enhancing the institutional basis of our foreign relations, and advancing our global goals.

At the beginning of the presentation, it was highlighted that Türkiye continues its actions in foreign policy as an active country that contributes peace and stability under the guidance of the “Peace at Home, Peace in the World” principle as set out by the founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Within the scope of the presentation, we introduced our guests to the latest developments in the Middle East, the fight against terrorism, the Russia-Ukraine War, the Cyprus Issue, and relations with international organisations such as the European Union (EU), United Nations (UN), Organisation of Turkic States (OTC), and NATO.

Mrs. Kumrulu concluded the presentation by answering questions from the delegation and presenting a gift to the Head of Delegation, Mr. Bilal Emre Biral.
