Ankara: The expansionist policy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is driving the region toward chaos, instability, war, and genocide, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned on Wednesday.
According to Qatar News Agency, this statement came during a joint press conference with his Kyrgyz counterpart Jeenbek Kulubaev, following their participation in the Seventh Meeting of the Turkiye-Kyrgyzstan Joint Strategic Planning Group, convened in Ankara.
Fidan questioned how the international community should address this policy and what measures are required, along with an action plan to tackle these issues. He emphasized that Turkiye is engaging in discussions with all international partners to address the situation.
The cooperation between Turkiye and Kyrgyzstan, Fidan noted, is being steadily strengthened. The meeting reviewed the implementation of objectives outlined in the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Councils between the two nations.
Fidan also highlighted that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Kyrgyz counterpart Sadyr Japarov have set a $5 billion target for trade volume between their countries and are actively working towards achieving this goal.
Additionally, Fidan mentioned that the meeting addressed issues related to connectivity, funds, and investment. He noted that recent incidents related to Iran have underscored the strategic significance of merchandise and product transportation, with passageways and communication channels becoming increasingly important.
