On the sidelines of the meeting in Antalya, in addition to a North Atlantic Council session where the foreign ministers of 28 allies will engage in comprehensive consultations on major issues on NATO’s agenda, a series of other sessions will take place with the participation of the foreign ministries of partner nations. The decision on these additional sessions will be taken in the forthcoming months, in light of developments in international security.
The fact that this meeting will be held in Antalya demonstrates the importance that Turkey, as an ally of 63 years, attaches to NATO’s undertakings.
It is also taking place at a time of heightened risks and threats on NATO’s southern border, as the civil war in Syria and the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levent (ISIL) continue.
