Fidan’s meetings in Qatar are expected to address the growing strategic partnership between Ankara and Doha in all areas, and new avenues for cooperation in the coming period are expected to be discussed, said the sources, AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
The meetings are also expected to cover preparations for the 11th session of the High Strategic Committee meeting, scheduled to be held in Doha this year under the chairmanship of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, as well as consultations on regional issues, particularly Gaza and Syria.
The latest steps taken by the international community toward the recognition of the State of Palestine are expected to be evaluated during the talks, during which Fidan is expected to reiterate that Türkiye welcomes Qatar's mediation efforts, which are being conducted in collaboration with Egypt and the US to secure a cease-fire in Gaza, and that Ankara is ready to support any constructive initiative.
As the current Chair of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Council of Foreign Ministers, Fidan is also expected to exchange views on the upcoming OIC meeting to be convened at Türkiye’s initiative.
Fidan will be visiting Qatar for the third time this year, following visits on April 27 and Feb. 2-3.
Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani also visited Türkiye earlier this year, attending the 51st Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul in June and the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in April.
