Türkiye is stepping up efforts to deepen ties with China, while also keeping a firm hand in global peace diplomacy.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, speaking on his return from the SCO Summit in Tianjin, said Ankara is working to expand cooperation with Beijing in fields ranging from trade and energy to health and digital technologies. He underlined that Türkiye doesn’t see East–West division, but rather seeks to build connections across regions.
Erdogan also pressed for China’s support in shaping what he called a more prosperous international order, noting that Türkiye will continue to defend dialogue-based, people-centered policies on every platform.
On the Russia-Ukraine war, he reaffirmed that negotiations remain the only path to peace. Erdoğan recalled Türkiye’s success in brokering the Black Sea grain corridor and prisoner swaps, saying talks in Istanbul had already proven the potential of dialogue. He emphasized that Ankara stays in close contact with both President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging all sides to make peace over the conflict.
Erdogan also highlighted regional developments, pointing to the Zangezur Corridor agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia as a step that will boost trade, open borders, and to expand normalization in the South Caucasus.
For Ankara, strengthening ties with Beijing, advancing peace in Ukraine, and supporting regional stability all point that Türkiye intends to advocate for world peace and stability.
