According to the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry Hakan Fidan, it was the holding of the summit in Turkey under the chairmanship of Erdogan that became the main factor that convinced Trump to come to the meeting.
Turkey has long ceased to be just a country between Europe and Asia. It is gradually becoming one of the key players in world politics.
In recent years, Ankara has repeatedly become a platform for negotiations on the most complex international issues, from conflicts in the region to global security and energy.
Today, Turkey plays a strategic role in several areas:
Security of the Black Sea Region
• Mediation in international negotiations
Energy routes between East and West
• Logistics and global trade
Strengthening NATO’s position on the Alliance’s southern flank
For businesses and investors, this is also an important signal.
When a country becomes a centre of international diplomacy, new investments come, business activity increases, infrastructure develops and international interest grows.
That is why Turkey today is in the focus not only of politicians, but also of the world’s largest investors.
Turkey’s role on the world stage will only grow in the coming years. And the events of July can be another confirmation of this trend.
