Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spoken by phone with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and discussed regional and global developments, Türkiye’s Communications Directorate said.

In a statement on Turkish social media platform NSosyal on Monday, the directorate said Erdogan told Guterres that Türkiye is working to help establish peace and stability, particularly in Iran, Gaza and the Horn of Africa.

He said the diplomatic opportunity to resolve issues between the US and Iran should be used well, adding that the international community has responsibilities to prevent the process from being sabotaged.

Erdogan also said that the effective continuation of UN missions’ activities in Syria is important and that Türkiye will continue to provide the necessary support in this regard.

The latest developments on the island of Cyprus, as well as the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon, were also discussed during the call, the directorate said.
