“The Turkish-US relations improve each passing day”
Speaking at the dinner held by the Turkish American National Steering Committee in New York, President Erdoğan said: “The Turkish-US relations improve each passing day. Our bilateral trade volume reached a record high last year, having exceeded 32 billion dollars. We will further enhance our cooperation on the basis of common interests in the upcoming period.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is in New York for the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, made a speech at the dinner held by the Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC) in New York.
Stating that they work selflessly to crown the centenary of the Republic with the Century of Türkiye, President Erdoğan said: “We are making really great progress in defense, diplomacy, economy and tourism alike. We give no respite to any terrorist organizations, from DAESH to FETO and PKK. Let me reiterate that we will determinedly continue our fight against terrorist organizations inside and outside our borders.”
Underscoring that while defending the rights of the nation, they work to correct global injustices and inequalities, President Erdoğan noted: “We, to that end, pursue a strong, constructive, active and balanced foreign policy both on the ground and at the table. With the critical roles we have assumed recently in regional and global crises, we have consolidated our global leading position in the area of mediation. Our stance in the Russia-Ukraine war is appreciated by the entire world. We have achieved many diplomatic successes, from the exchange of war prisoners to the Black Sea Initiative. Believing that ‘there is no winner of a war, and a loser of a peace”, we continue our efforts in a multifaceted manner.”
Stressing that the Turkish-US relations improve each passing day, President Erdoğan went on to say: “I have agreed with President Biden on strengthening our cooperation and friendship. The Strategic Mechanism we decided to establish with Mr. Biden contributes to the deepening of the dialogue between our countries. Our bilateral trade volume reached a record high last year, having exceeded 30 billion dollars. We will further enhance our cooperation on the basis of common interests in the upcoming period.”
