President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived today in the United Arab Emirates, on the first leg of a Middle East tour. In Dubai, he attended the “World Governments Summit 2024,” upon the invitation of the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
From there he will travel to Egypt for a three-day official visit, the first since 2013, where he will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and discuss the recent improvement in bilateral ties as well as regional issues, especially the situation in Gaza.
At the summit, Erdoğan delivered a speech in which he called for an immediate ceasefire and asserted that “the path to peace, tranquility and economic development in our region lies with the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
