Fidan: Ankara seeks regional transport link

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Ankara is engaging in discussions with Saudi Arabia and other countries to revive a regional transit route extending from Turkey through Syria and Jordan to the Gulf. The aim is to boost trade movement, energy transportation, and goods exchange between the region and global markets. He noted that challenges in maritime transportation have increased the need to develop more stable alternative land routes, with options to enhance connections through Syria, opening new horizons for economic cooperation and shared development.
