In brief
Fidan praised Turkey's constructive contributions at the two‑day G20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta, noting the country's proposals to tackle energy disruptions and supply‑chain bottlenecks. He urged dialogue on the Black Sea situation with Russia and Ukraine and stressed Turkey’s diplomatic role. The meeting, hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, set the stage for the upcoming G20 leaders’ summit in Miami.
At the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting in Atlanta on Saturday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Ankara had put forward practical proposals to address global crises and strengthen international cooperation, according to Anadolu Agency.
Fidan said the two‑day meeting, hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, focused on three main sessions covering global crises, energy security and disruptions to supply chains.
He pointed to growing bottlenecks in the Black Sea, Gulf and Red Sea, warning that such disruptions were seriously affecting global trade.
Fidan noted that discussions involving Russia and Ukraine were not always easy, particularly around the Black Sea situation and the energy consequences of the Russia‑Ukraine war, but emphasized their necessity.
He added that Turkey seeks to distinguish itself through meaningful contributions rather than merely taking a different position from other countries.
The meeting was part of preparations for the G20 leaders’ summit to be held in Miami in December.
Hakan Fidan said:
Global supply chains have been severely disrupted. Discussions have taken place over how we might remedy or resolve these issues, and what the international community should do in this regard.
