Erdogan emphasized the necessity of establishing an independent, sovereign, and geographically integrated Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Humanitarian Aid and ASEAN’s Role
On aid to Gaza, Erdogan stated that a coordinated effort among ASEAN members could significantly enhance relief efforts.
