Turkey-Southeast Asia defense and strategic relations

Overview

Turkey is actively expanding its strategic and defense partnerships within Southeast Asia.

In Malaysia, Turkish National Defense Minister Yaşar Güler emphasized the deepening of bilateral relations, noting that defense industry cooperation has been bolstered by numerous agreements signed since 2019. This follows a history of engagement including a 2014 Strategic Partnership Declaration and a 2022 Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

Similarly, Turkey and Cambodia have strengthened ties through a newly signed military framework agreement. During a meeting in Istanbul, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed enhancing cooperation in the defense and security sectors, with Erdoğan noting Cambodia’s interest in Turkish defense products. The two nations also reaffirmed a long-standing goal to increase bilateral trade to $1 billion.
