Somali Magazine September 19,2023-On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in the Turkish House (or Turkevi Centre) in New York to discuss regional and global issues.
“As always, we will continue to be one of the countries that gives the most active support to NATO missions,” Erdogan tweeted on X, the social networking platform formerly known as Twitter, just after the almost 50-minute meeting.
Stoltenberg stated that they talked about “stepping up our fight against terrorism” and congratulated President Erdogan for his efforts to resurrect the Black Sea grain agreement.
“As agreed at (the July NATO summit in) Vilnius, (Lithuania), the Turkish parliament will take up Sweden’s NATO membership as soon as possible,” Stoltenberg wrote on X immediately after the meeting, which took place on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly’s 78th session.
