Aegean Exporters’ Associations, which ensured that Turkish cuisine is taught in the curriculum of William F. Harrah College of Hospitality in Las Vegas for 5 years, conducted an event that American chefs from Las Vegas competed for the first place with the Turkish menus they prepared.
Aegean Exporters’ Unions Vice Coordinator Birol Celep stated that Turkey earned 5 billion US dollars annually from the export of food products and that they aim to export 10 billion dollars in the medium term. He said that they have been successfully working on promotional activities as part of Turquality project, which is supported by Turkish ministry of trade.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.
Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.
Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
