The meeting, which included key Turkish officials such as Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, National Defense Minister Yasar Guler, Communications Director Fahrettin Altun, and Foreign Policy Adviser Akif Cagatay Kilic, focused on strengthening cooperation between the two nations across various sectors.
