President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Friday said Türkiye has proven to be a reliable energy transit partner and key actor for peace, stressing that its infrastructure has strengthened its role in regional stability.
Türkiye is determined to advance energy diplomacy alongside its broader peace efforts, Erdoğan told the second edition of the Istanbul Natural Resources Summit.
The event was organized in cooperation between Turkuvaz Media, Türkiye's leading media group and Daily Sabah's parent company, and the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.
Erdoğan pointed to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war and the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, saying recent crises triggered severe volatility in energy prices and raised concerns over global supply security.
The Iran war has triggered what is being described as the largest ever energy crisis because of the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
