A PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL DIALOGUE
The forum is being held under the theme “Mapping Tomorrow, Managing Uncertainties” and brings together 38 heads of state and government, 41 foreign ministers, and representatives of the expert community.
The Antalya Diplomatic Forum is positioned as a space for open and inclusive discussion of international issues. Its format facilitates direct communication between state leaders, allowing for the discussion of current challenges in a more flexible and trusting atmosphere.
Türkiye views the forum as an important element of the emerging global diplomatic architecture and is consistently developing it as a tool for international cooperation.
