Washington: Ankara summit gauges defense progress

Turkey continues to strengthen its defensive capabilities and develop its military industries, with Turkish defense exports exceeding $11 billion, up from $250 million. It is now the second-largest hydroelectric power producer in Europe, with an capacity of over 32,000 megawatts. These efforts are part of Turkey's support for NATO efforts and the enhancement of its military and defensive capabilities, as it prepares to host the NATO summit in Ankara, aiming to improve cooperation and integration in the field of defense by energy.
