Türkiye, Sweden, and Finland to hold NATO Talks in Ankara

The fourth meeting of the Permanent Joint Mechanism is set to convene on Wednesday, bringing together delegations from Türkiye, Finland, Sweden, and NATO.
Hosted by Ambassador Akif Çagatay Kılıç, Chief Advisor to President Erdogan, the meeting will take place at the Presidential Complex in Ankara and is scheduled to commence at 9:00 am.
Distinguished representatives from each delegation will gather to deliberate and monitor the progress of the Trilateral Memorandum, which was signed in Madrid in June 2022. The memorandum serves as the foundation for establishing the Permanent Joint Mechanism, with a primary focus on strengthening cooperation in areas related to shared security.
Leading the NATO delegation will be Stian Jenssen, the Cabinet Chief of the NATO Secretary-General. Ambassador Jan Knutsson, the State Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will represent Sweden, while Jukka Salovaara, the Permanent State Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Finland, will head the Finnish delegation.
The meeting provides an invaluable opportunity for the participating delegations to engage in comprehensive discussions and reinforce their cooperative endeavors in pursuit of common security goals.
By nurturing diplomatic ties and upholding open channels of communication, the Permanent Joint Mechanism aims to foster stability and further enhance collaboration among the nations involved.
This NATO gathering in Ankara signifies a significant step forward in strengthening regional security cooperation and deepening partnerships between Türkiye, Sweden, Finland, and NATO. (ILKHA)
