Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan plans a visit to Indonesia on Wednesday to discuss expanding bilateral cooperation, boosting trade and defense ties, and addressing regional and global security challenges, Foreign Ministry sources said Tuesday.
Fidan is expected to discuss steps to further strengthen cooperation across various sectors in line with the political will demonstrated by the leaders of the two countries.
He is expected to emphasize the importance of deepening cooperation in infrastructure, energy, transportation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, high technology and halal food industries to help increase bilateral trade volume to $10 billion. Fidan is also going to review ongoing defense industry projects and assess potential new areas of cooperation.
On Gaza, Fidan is set to reiterate that Türkiye and Indonesia remain in close consultation on developments in Palestine and will continue joint efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace.
According to the sources, he is also going to stress the need for coordinated international action in response to Israel's cease-fire violations in Gaza, provocative actions in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, and the expansion of its occupation in Lebanon.
