Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan attended the 30th MIKTA Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

The meeting brought together foreign ministers from the five MIKTA member countries — Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Türkiye and Australia — to discuss international and regional developments and opportunities for closer cooperation.

Fidan represented Türkiye at the meeting as the foreign ministers exchanged views on issues on the international agenda and discussed ways to strengthen coordination within the MIKTA framework.

MIKTA is an informal partnership established in 2013 that brings together five middle powers from different regions. The group seeks to promote dialogue, cooperation and coordination on issues of common interest in international forums, including the United Nations.

Fidan's participation comes as Türkiye engages in a series of high-level diplomatic meetings during the UN General Assembly session, where world leaders and senior officials are discussing major international and regional issues.

The MIKTA meeting forms part of Türkiye's diplomatic engagements on the margins of the UN General Assembly, providing an additional platform for Ankara to exchange views with partner countries on global developments and multilateral cooperation. (ILKHA)
