Sri Lanka also expressed appreciation for Türkiye’s cooperation in advancing the initiative.

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM) has approved the bill ratifying the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement signed between Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, moving the trilateral defence pact one step closer to final parliamentary approval.
A lightning strike triggered a major fire that destroyed approximately 500 tons of stored straw in Sarımbey village in Türkiye’s central province of Yozgat, causing significant losses for local agricultural and livestock producers.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry has rejected claims that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan gave an interview to a Greek newspaper, saying allegations about his remarks on the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean distort his statements and misrepresent Ankara’s position.
