Deputy FM meets with NATO Assistant Secretary-General, discusses alliance agenda

Deputy Foreign Minister Akcapar engages in discussions with NATO officials on alliance priorities, while NATO Secretary-General calls for increased support to Ukraine

Deputy Foreign Minister Burak Akcapar held a meeting with NATO Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs and Security Policy Boris Ruge, as announced by the Turkish Foreign Ministry Thursday.

The discussions between Akcapar and Ruge focused on “issues on NATO’s agenda,” including “preparations for the upcoming Washington Summit,” the ministry added.

No further details were shared by the Foreign Ministry regarding the specifics of the meeting.

These discussions underscore the ongoing dialogue and partnership between Türkiye and NATO, reaffirming their joint commitment to advancing peace and security globally.

Meanwhile, Stoltenberg held a press conference at NATO headquarters on the Alliance’s 2023 activity report.

He emphasized the supplies provided by allies to Ukraine were not sufficient, calling on them to do more.

Highlighting one of Ukraine’s greatest victories as repelling Russia in the Black Sea, Stoltenberg credited this success to close cooperation with Türkiye, Romania, and Bulgaria.

Stoltenberg emphasized that this achievement was made possible not only by the capabilities of the Ukrainian army but also by the advanced weapons provided by NATO allies.
