Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will travel to Qatar on an official visit Sunday, Turkish Foreign Ministry sources said Saturday.
Fidan is expected to reaffirm Türkiye's solidarity with Qatar following the recent attacks on the Gulf nation and underscore Ankara's continued support during talks with Qatari officials. The meetings will also focus on the growing strategic partnership between the two countries and ways to deepen cooperation across a range of sectors.
The discussions are expected to cover preparations for the 12th meeting of the Türkiye-Qatar High Strategic Committee, which is scheduled to take place in Türkiye later this year under the co-chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Fidan is also expected to emphasize that recent regional developments have once again highlighted the strategic importance of defense and military cooperation between Türkiye and Qatar.
The agenda will include discussions on the need to address regional issues through dialogue and diplomacy, based on the principle of regional ownership, while calling for stronger joint efforts to advance that approach.
