Niger: A Critical Step in Africa
By Özgür Ekşi

Turkiye’s visit to Niger might be the key to a new level of bilateral relations. A source close to meetings commented on an “intergovernmental summit rather than a working visit.”

Turkiye’s and Niger’s delegations met in Niamey in Joint Working Meeting. Niger’s Prime Minister Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine chaired the meeting where Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, accompanied by Minister of National Defence Minister Yasar Güler and Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, represented Turkiye. Head of Turkish Intelligence Agency MIT Ibrahim Kalin, Secretary of Defence Industry (SSB) Haluk Görgün and Deputy Trade Minister Özgür Volkan Ağar were present at the meetings.
