Mr Gavusoglu lauded the robust and innovative policies being implemented by the AU to expedite the development of the continent and stated Turkey’s continuous support for that cause.<\/div>\n
He noted that AU’s Agenda 2063 was a flagship programme that could unleash the continent’s potential and bring hope and prosperity to all, which Turkey wholeheartedly supported.<\/div>\n
” Our Government and official agencies have carried out efforts in line with the 2063 Agenda.”<\/div>\n
Mr Gavusoglu said the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), through its 22 representatives across the Continent, and the National Disaster Relief Agency (AFAD), as well as the Turkish Red Crescent, had spearheaded millions of Dollars-worth sustainable development projects and in-kind aid in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/div>\n

“Even during the most turbulent times, T\u00fcrkiye continued to be in solidarity with the Continent. We supported our African friends during the pandemic, through vaccine donations,” he stated.<\/div>\n
The Foreign Affairs Minister said owing to the centuries-old historical, cultural and human relations between Turkey and Africa, Turkey would continue to be in unity and solidarity with African countries as strong partners and wished the continent a happy AU Day celebration.<\/div>\n
