We were pleased to host the 22nd edition of
@istanpolinst Foreign Policy Talks, “Recalibrating the Alliance: NATO, Türkiye, and European Security Ahead of Ankara 2026,” in partnership with
@FES_Turkey.
We were honoured to welcome Jurgis Vilčinskas, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Türkiye, the Consuls General of France and the Netherlands (
@nadia_fanton and
@DaanHuisinga), members of the German Bundestag (Serdar Yüksel) and the Turkish Parliament (
@utkucakirozer), as well as diplomats, security experts, and leading think tank representatives from Türkiye and Europe. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all participants for contributing to such a rich and forward-looking discussion.
At a critical moment for European and transatlantic security, their insights and engagement made this exchange especially valuable ahead of the
#NATO Summit in Ankara. 🇹🇷🇪🇺
