Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky honored Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan with the Order of Merit, 2nd degree, thanking him for his work toward peace efforts.
The two met on Thursday to discuss the current state of diplomacy, as well as future steps that could help accelerate efforts to reach peace and improve the situation on the battlefield, according to Zelensky’s statement.
“We expect trade turnover between our countries will only continue to grow,” Zelensky said, adding that he is “grateful to Turkey and to the minister personally.”
Beyond diplomacy, Zelensky said the meeting covered bilateral relations and implementation of the free trade agreement between the two countries. Both sides expressed expectations that commercial ties would keep expanding as they continue to cooperate.
