Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Wednesday, Türkiye's Communications Directorate confirmed.
The leaders discussed Türkiye-France bilateral relations as well as regional and global issues.
Erdoğan emphasised that dialogue with France is crucial for Türkiye, noting that efforts will continue to enhance cooperation across multiple sectors, particularly in trade, energy, and the defence industry. He underlined Türkiye’s determination to revitalise and advance its ties with the European Union, stressing that the rapid activation of relevant mechanisms would be beneficial.
Turning to regional security, Erdoğan highlighted Türkiye’s commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine. He said negotiations held in İstanbul must adopt a results-oriented approach.
Erdoğan also congratulated Macron on France’s decision to recognise the state of Palestine, asserting that international pressure could support the two-state solution. He stressed the importance of close Ankara-Paris coordination on this matter.
The leaders exchanged views on the latest developments in Syria, as well as the rise of xenophobia and hate crimes in Europe.
The meeting was attended by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Turkish intelligence chief İbrahim Kalın, and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.
President Erdoğan is in New York for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, continuing a series of high-level diplomatic engagements.
