According to Turkish diplomatic sources, Fidan will address the opening session on "Mediation in a Time of Fragmentation" and later participate in a "Newsmaker Interview" session focused on shaping the Middle East's security architecture.

Forum Theme and High-Level Participation

The annual Doha Forum, hosted by the Qatari Foreign Ministry, convenes under the theme “Justice in Action: Beyond Promises to Progress.” The prestigious gathering attracts heads of state, government ministers, senior international officials, and experts to discuss pressing global challenges. Notably, the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, founded and hosted by Türkiye, is listed among the event's content partners, highlighting the synergy between major diplomatic platforms in the region.

Bilateral Diplomacy on the Sidelines

In addition to his public appearances at the forum, Minister Fidan is scheduled to hold a series of bilateral meetings with other attending dignitaries. These sideline discussions are a key component of the visit, offering opportunities to advance diplomatic dialogues on various regional issues and bilateral cooperation agendas.

Türkiye's Regional Mediation Role

Fidan's participation underscores Türkiye's active and increasing role as a diplomatic mediator and security stakeholder in the Middle East. His speeches are expected to detail Ankara's initiatives to promote stability and its vision for a new, more inclusive regional security framework, reflecting Türkiye's strategic priorities amid ongoing conflicts and geopolitical fragmentation.
