Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Türkiye is closely following BRICS developments after the organization’s latest summit in Rio de Janeiro.
Speaking to Turkish media outlet TRT Haber, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s multilateral foreign policy approach and addressed key regional issues including Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran-Israel tensions.
Türkiye’s growing diplomatic influence
Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s rising impact in global diplomacy following the 17th BRICS Leaders Summit.
He stressed that changes in the global system are being closely monitored, stating: “Türkiye is closely interested in BRICS. Türkiye’s international stance and position causes its voice to be heard on many platforms. There is an international community here that wants to benefit from our experiences and views.”
“The countries that came together around this table were also G20 member countries.
Türkiye closely follows the changes on every platform. We will continue to be closely interested in BRICS in that respect,” Fidan added.
Fidan: Putin, Trump, Zelenskyy could meet in Türkiye
Fidan recalled that the closest Russia and Ukraine came to peace was during the Istanbul negotiations.
He noted that Russia is ready for third-round talks while Ukraine’s response is awaited.
Regarding a possible leaders’ summit, Fidan shared the latest developments.
“What’s new about the leaders’ summit is that, unlike before, everyone, including Mr. Putin, sees no problem with coming together with their current counterparts. There is no problem in principle with Mr. Trump, Mr. Putin, Mr. Zelenskyy coming together under the auspices of our president,” he said.
