UNGA: President Meloni meets with President Erdoğan of Türkiye

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, met today with the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in the margins of the high-level week of the 79th United Nations General Assembly.

In addition to the increasingly difficult situation in the Middle East, the meeting also focused on the common commitment to support Ukraine's territorial integrity and pursue a just and lasting peace.

With regard to the debate on Security Council reform, the two leaders reiterated their shared commitment in the context of the 'United for Consensus' group, supporting a solution inspired by the principles of equality, democracy and representativeness which therefore excludes the creation of new permanent seats.

On a bilateral level, President Meloni and President Erdoğan reaffirmed the shared desire to hold a summit between their two governments and a business forum as soon as possible in order to further strengthen the bilateral relationship.
