The 4th Antalya Diplomacy Forum, held under the auspices of our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and hosted by our Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Hakan Fidan, became one of the important meeting points of global diplomacy. This year, more than 6 thousand participants from 155 countries came together with the leaders of various countries and exchanged views on diplomacy and international cooperation.
Within the scope of the forum, MÜSİAD maintained its active role in international relations and introduced the association's structure and vision along with its strong organizational network abroad.

In these meetings, MÜSİAD's contributions in the field of global entrepreneurship and economic solidarity were shared with regard to Türkiye's diplomatic vision.
At the forum, the messages given by our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan against global injustices, above all in Gaza, were an important call for the international community. MÜSİAD emphasized that it will continue its work for a just world order, that it will contribute to the country's diplomatic vision and that it will strengthen entrepreneurship and economic solidarity on a global scale.
