These discussions mark an important step in enhancing diplomatic ties between Turkey and these European nations, reflecting the country's ongoing efforts to strengthen international relationships.
According to the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the meetings included members of Klingbeil's delegation, underscoring the collaborative spirit of the discussions.
