In three days, Antalya will turn into a diplomatic hub. The 4th Antalya Diplomacy Forum, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye under the auspices of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will take place this week in Antalya.
This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Diplomacy in a Fragmented World” highlights the urgent need for diplomacy to address deepening global divisions.
The event will start on 11th April with Leaders' Panels and opening speech of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The Antalya Diplomacy Forum will bring together global leaders, policymakers, academics, business experts and media from around 140 countries. The 2025 edition is expected to welcome more than 4,000 participants, including many high-level figures.
Azerbaijan’s President İlham Aliyev, Hungary’s President Victor Orban and Turkish Cypriot President Ersin Tatar are among states' leaders. Secretary General of the OSCE Feridun Sinirlioğlu and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Alain Berset will also attend the ADF.
“We see that the ADF is becoming a global forum. We have extended invitations to almost all countries and representatives from more than 140 countries will attend this year’s forum,” Ambassador Yonca Gündüz Özçeri, one of the coordinators of the ADF, told to journalists.
“This is very good news as it demonstrates Türkiye’s strong ability to bring countries across the world together,” she said, liking the ADF to a “mini U.N. General Assembly."
They will explore how diplomacy can address the challenges of a fragmented world and foster collective action. The Forum aims to inspire dialogue that redefines the role and core principles of diplomacy in an increasingly polarized atmosphere.
This year’s ADF coincides with growing geopolitical rifts, deepening global inequalities amid continued wars in Gaza and Ukraine and uncertainties over the global order.
The Forum will encourage policymakers to reconsider how diplomacy can navigate turbulent times, focusing on innovative tools for conflict resolution, mediation strategies, and regional cooperation mechanisms. To help create a more effective and cohesive international system, the Forum will seek new solutions to address the failures of global governance, particularly the dysfunction and lack of trust in international organizations.
The role of non-governmental stakeholders in complementing traditional diplomatic efforts will also be explored, aiming to make diplomacy more inclusive, adaptable, and resilient.
