Erdogan Praises Shanghai Organization and Mecca Alliance
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan affirmed that Turkey is seeking to strengthen its relations with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which he described as a "rising star" in the international system. The organization represents about 3.5 billion people and has a combined GDP of approximately $35 trillion, making it an indispensable element in the multipolar order. He highlighted the importance of the organization in ensuring peace and stability, developing secure transit routes, and securing energy supplies. Additionally, he expressed Turkey’s desire to align the "Middle Corridor" project with the Belt and Road Initiative to enhance trade and transportation. Erdoğan also emphasized the "Mecca Pact," a mutual defense agreement Turkey signed with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, aimed at achieving regional peace and stability through collective deterrence and burden-sharing, with the treaty signed in Mecca last August.
