Turkey will continue to contribute to this significant initiative with the understanding that the MIKTA platform, five members of which are also G-20 members, will facilitate the quest for solution of major challenges on the international arena, thus contributing to global peace, stability and prosperity.

Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu, along with other MIKTA Foreign Ministers, will be received by H.E. Park Geun-hye, President of the Republic of Korea, and hold bilateral talks with other Foreign Ministers participating in the meeting.
