Североатлантический совет НАТО проводит встречу в Анкаре

В понедельник в Анкаре состоялось заседание Североатлантического совета НАТО совместно с ее средиземноморскими партнерами.

Генеральный секретарь НАТО Йенс Столтенберг прибыл в столицу Турции в понедельник утром и вскоре после этого встретился с президентом Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоганом.

В интервью полуофициальному информационному агентству Anadolu до своего прибытия в Турцию Столтенберг заявил, что Турция является союзником НАТО, наиболее подверженным насилию и беспорядкам, исходящим из Ближнего Востока, и она подвергалась серии террористических атак. Генеральный секретарь заявил, что Альянс из 29 стран привержен делу защиты Турции. По словам Столтенберга, союзники по НАТО поддерживают Турцию, поскольку она испытывает серьезные проблемы в области безопасности, защищая Турцию с помощью систем ПВО и ПРО и патрулируя воздушное пространство Турции самолетами наблюдения АВАКС. "На прошлогодней встрече министров иностранных дел в Вашингтоне мы также согласовали пакет возможных действий по укреплению безопасности в Черноморском регионе. Все это свидетельствует о приверженности НАТО защите Турции", - заявил он.

По словам лидера альянса, Турция активно участвует в совместной обороне альянса, и НАТО высоко ценит то, что Турция делает для этого. "Турция вступила в Альянс в 1952 году, и она продолжает оставаться очень ценным членом нашей семьи. Как генеральный секретарь, я высоко ценю все, что Турция делает для нашего Альянса", - подчеркнул он.

"Турция также играет важную роль в новой учебной миссии НАТО в Ираке. Она укрепляет силы безопасности Ирака, чтобы помочь гарантировать, что ИГИЛ никогда не сможет вернуться", - подчеркнул Столтенберг, сославшись на вклад Турции в миссии в Афганистане, на Западных Балканах и в Косово.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
