Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, held meetings in Türkiye with Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan, Head of the National Intelligence Organization İbrahim Kalın, and Presidential Advisor on Foreign Policy Akif Çağatay Kılıç.

“We discussed the security situation, the progress of the negotiation process, and the coordination of further steps in addressing common threats. We also explored joint projects in the field of regional security.

As always, particular emphasis was placed on the humanitarian track. The issue of returning Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians remains our priority and is constantly on the agenda.

We coordinated approaches to further cooperation. Türkiye plays an important role as a partner and a platform for dialogue.”
