Rubio meets Turkish foreign minister/Discussions on trade issues

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The meeting was held to discuss cooperation on key security and trade issues.

The US Secretary of State called for Turkey's support for peace in Ukraine and the South Caucasus. He praised Turkey's leadership in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and reiterated the need for close cooperation to support a stable, united, and peaceful Syria that is neither a base for international terrorism nor a path to destabilizing Iranian activities.

Rubio noted recent progress in bilateral trade and encouraged even greater economic partnership moving forward. The Secretary expressed concerns about recent arrests and protests in Turkey.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sought Turkey's support for peace in Ukraine during his first meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

During his two-day trip to Washington, Fidan seeks to strengthen Turkey-US ties, which were increasingly strained during the previous presidency of Joe Biden.

Rubio and Fidan also discussed efforts to establish a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, adding that Ankara supported US initiatives.

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Turkey has maintained close ties with both countries, having previously offered to mediate talks and hosted an unsuccessful round of peace talks in 2022. /CNA
