President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with several world leaders during his visit to New York for the 80th United Nations General Assembly on Monday, conducting what officials described as intensive diplomatic engagement.
Erdogan held bilateral meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sabah Khalid al-Hamad al-Sabah during his stay in the city, according to Turkish presidential sources. He also met with European Union Council President Antonio Costa as part of his diplomatic agenda.
President was greeted with demonstrations of support upon his arrival at the Turkish House in New York, where he is conducting his meetings during the UN gathering. The facility serves as Türkiye's diplomatic headquarters during major international events in the city.
The 80th session of the UN General Assembly brings together world leaders to address global challenges and bilateral relations. Türkiye's participation reflects its continued engagement in international diplomacy and multilateral institutions.
Erdogan's meetings come as Türkiye maintains its active role in regional and global affairs, with the country serving as a bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The bilateral discussions during the UN session provide opportunities to address various diplomatic and economic issues with key international partners.
The UN General Assembly, which convenes annually in September, serves as a premier forum for international diplomatic engagement, with leaders traditionally using the gathering to conduct bilateral meetings alongside the main sessions.
Türkiye has been a UN member since 1945 and regularly participates in the annual General Assembly sessions as part of its multilateral diplomatic efforts.
