US deputy secretary of state Victoria Nuland set to visit Türkiye for strategic talks

US Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland is set to embark on a diplomatic mission to Türkiye on January 28-29, according to diplomatic sources.

The visit comes as part of the Türkiye-US Strategic Mechanism, marking a significant step in bilateral relations between the two nations. Nuland's visit follows an invitation from Deputy Foreign Minister Burak Akcapar, Anadolu reports.

During her visit, Nuland is expected to engage in comprehensive consultations, delving into various aspects of the Türkiye-US bilateral relationship, regional and international matters.

On October 31, 2021, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his US counterpart Joe Biden met in Rome and agreed to establish a strategic mechanism that promotes high-level dialogue and addresses issues on which Türkiye and the US do not fully agree, along with issues they are working on.

During the April 4 visit of Nuland to Ankara, the Türkiye-US Strategic Mechanism was launched.
