Beyond bilateral issues, Fidan and Algerian officials will address regional and global concerns, including developments in the Sahel, Libya, Syria, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The visit underscores Türkiye’s commitment to deepening ties with North African nations and reinforcing its role in Mediterranean and African affairs. (ILKHA)
