Erdogan meets Xi Jinping, hails Turkey's ties with China-led SCO
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Kazakhstan on Thursday, reaffirming his country's commitment to strengthening ties with the China-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) bloc after the two men met for the first time in nearly two years.
The two leaders, who met on the sidelines of the SCO summit in the Kazakh capital Astana, discussed bilateral and global issues, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, a statement from the Turkish presidency said.
Erdogan told Xi that his country aims to “continue the increasing steps taken to improve Turkey’s relations with China in all areas,” according to the transcript. The last face-to-face talks between the two men took place in September 2022, also on the sidelines of the blocs’ summit. The Chinese side has not released a transcript to date.
Speaking at the summit that followed the meeting, Erdogan hailed Turkey's growing ties with the SCO bloc.
“The organization has become one of our main channels of dialogue with Asia due to our status as a dialogue partner, which we have held since 2013,” he said. “Our many years of experience in combating terrorism show that international cooperation is essential to confront this threat. In this context, we are ready to further strengthen our dialogue with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.”
Founded by China, the Russian Federation, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India and Pakistan in 2001, the bloc identifies the fight against terrorism and radicalism as one of its goals.
Erdogan’s presence at the SCO meeting comes days before his planned trip to the United States to attend a NATO leaders’ summit next week. He has signaled Turkey’s desire to become a full member of the SCO in 2022, which has sparked concern in Western capitals as it is widely believed that the SCO is seeking to become a rival to NATO.
Turkey will continue its cooperation with the alliance in many areas, including security, energy and connectivity, with the aim of contributing to the bloc's goal of multilateralism in Asia.
Ankara is in talks with the Asian power to build Turkey's third nuclear power plant, which will be built in the country's northwest region, as well as to deepen cooperation between the two countries in the energy field. The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation on energy transition during Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar's visit to Beijing in May. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also made his first visit to China in June as the country's top diplomat; he also visited the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
Erdogan, who was an outspoken critic of Beijing over its treatment of the Uighurs, a Muslim minority of Turkic origin, has muted his criticism in recent years, fearing it could jeopardize economic ties with his biggest trading partner in Asia. China is also Turkey’s third-largest trading partner, with trade between the two countries topping $47 billion last year.
