Remarks by Mr. Ahmet Davutoğlu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey at the Meeting of Ambassadors of Brazil in the Middle East and North Africa, 25 February 2012, İstanbul

Mr. President, distinguished guests, ambassadors from our very friendly country Brazil, welcome to your home. İstanbul is the home, house of all of us, the city which has been the capital of three empires. So the city of diplomatic practices for more than a millennium and the city of all intellectual activities, as well as economic activities. So it is great honor for us to welcome you and I am very grateful, I feel very honored because of having this meeting of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil to have diplomats in İstanbul this is a new friendship in last years. Traditionally we have relations with Brazil but in last four or five years, developments in Turkish Brazilian relations are one of the best, may be even the best example how geographical distance cannot be a barrier in developing very close cooperation. We have excellent relations bilateral relations in political, economical cultural dialogue, we have excellent relations coordinating our regional foreign policy and even contributing in global peace through our joint initiative back in 2010 regarding Iranian nuclear program together with my dear colleague, Minister Amorim. Now we are further improving relations with my dear colleague Mr. Patriotta. Sometimes every week, sometimes twice a month we are talking to each other on different occasions and coordinating our efforts, because in this critical historic turning point, not only consultation in the UN, when we were inthe UNSC consultation among the 10 non permanent members, but sometimes consultation among the influential, regional powers which may have global effect. Global influence is as important as other coordination between Turkish and Brazilian diplomacies. We have close cooperation and it is a great asset from this perspective. Because we share the same vision, same ideals such as transparency and accountability. We have the same approach in diplomacy; these are multilateralism, regional ownership, more diplomacy rather than sanctions or threats, more dialogue like Alliance of Civilizations, now mediation, friends of mediation initiative also, we are playing a significant role. From all these perspectives, I am sure, the future of Turkısh Brazılıan relationship is very bright and your very presence here is a very good indicator of this. Thank you very much.
