Türkiye's Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yilmaz will attend a three-day High-Level International Conference on finding a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue and implementing the two-state solution, which begins in New York, US, on Monday.
Yilmaz will represent Türkiye at the conference on Palestine, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, said a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry on Sunday.
The conference has established eight working groups, each focusing on a different theme. Türkiye is co-chairing the working group titled “Preservation of the Two-State Solution” alongside Ireland.
The conference will focus on concrete, time-bound steps that can be taken to implement the two-state solution in light of current developments.
Yimaz is also expected to hold bilateral meetings and attend sideline events.
As part of the preparations, a preliminary meeting was held in New York on May 23, during which the working group chairs gathered views and recommendations from participating UN member states.
