Erdogan Heads to Ethiopia for High-Stakes Talks
Erdogan was formally seen off at the State Guest House at Ataturk Airport by Istanbul Governor Davut Gul, Justice and Development (AK) Party Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Ozdemir, and a delegation of senior officials before his departure.
At the heart of the visit are high-level negotiations with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, with the two leaders set to engage in both private, one-on-one discussions and broader inter-delegation talks — a dual-format meeting that signals the diplomatic weight both sides are placing on the encounter.
The talks are expected to pave the way for tangible outcomes, with Erdogan scheduled to attend a formal signing ceremony for bilateral agreements upon conclusion of the negotiations. A joint press conference between the two heads of state is also set to follow, where details of any accords reached are anticipated to be made public.
The visit marks a significant step in Ankara's continued push to deepen ties across the African continent, with Ethiopia — one of Africa's most strategically positioned nations — representing a key partner in Turkey's expanding diplomatic footprint.
