Türkiye will host a second edition of a major natural resources summit on Friday, bringing together ministers, executives, investors and international institutions to discuss global energy security, investment strategies and critical minerals amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.
The Istanbul Natural Resources Summit (INRES) is being organized by Türkiye's leading media group and Daily Sabah's parent company, Turkuvaz Media, under the auspices of the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.
The event comes amid unprecedented geopolitical tensions and conflicts and as Türkiye accelerates efforts to position itself as a regional energy hub through expanded natural gas infrastructure, renewable energy investments and cross-border cooperation initiatives.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to inaugurate the event, while Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar will address participants during the opening ceremony.
The summit follows last year's inaugural gathering, which drew ministers from nine countries and positioned Istanbul as a regional platform for dialogue on energy and natural resources.
