Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi on Friday in New York, holding bilateral talks on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly's high-level week, according to Turkish Foreign Ministry sources.
The encounter took place at UN headquarters, where world leaders have gathered for the annual diplomatic summit. Officials from Ankara confirmed the meeting but declined to elaborate on specific agenda items or outcomes.
Fidan, who previously led Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization, has maintained regular consultations with regional counterparts since assuming the foreign ministry portfolio. Araghchi represents Tehran at the UN session amid ongoing diplomatic efforts concerning Middle East security.
The 81st UN General Assembly session opened earlier this month in New York, drawing foreign ministers from across the globe for two weeks of consultations. Friday's encounter marks the latest contact between Ankara and Tehran, which maintain diplomatic channels despite competing regional interests.
