Turkey's neutral foreign policy stance

Overview

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has articulated a foreign policy strategy for Turkey centered on maintaining neutrality between Eastern and Western power blocs. He emphasized that Turkey should not be forced to choose an axis, asserting that the nation will maintain its NATO membership while simultaneously engaging with various international organizations to serve national interests.

Erdoğan noted that the ‘gravitational center of the world is shifting’ and called for reforms to the United Nations Security Council to reflect changing global power balances. His approach involves deepening ties with China, maintaining dialogue with Russia, and keeping communication channels open with Iran.

In addition to these diplomatic efforts, Erdoğan is a signatory of a new defense pact in the Middle East, which may facilitate mutual assistance between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. He also advocated for diplomacy to prevent regional tensions in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war from expanding further.
