Noting that the conflicts have become longer, more destructive and widespread than at any point in recent history, Fidan said that the displacement of millions of people, the overwhelming pressure on humanitarian aid systems, and the ongoing global vulnerabilities caused by economic disruptions continue to persist.
He said that rapid advancements, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, are redefining the world, and that multilateral institutions are struggling to remain effective in the face of shifting power dynamics.
“The UN Security Council is unable to fulfill its responsibility of maintaining peace and security in an extremely polarized global environment,” he said.
Remarking on the recent developments in Syria, Fidan stressed that they are “encouraging,” adding that meaningful steps have been taken toward an inclusive and representative transitional process in Syria.
“There is a firm determination to treat all ethnic and religious groups equally. The commitment to fighting terrorism continues unwaveringly. The concerns of regional countries are being addressed. The control of chemical weapons remains a priority. For Syria’s recovery to progress meaningfully, the unconditional lifting of sanctions is necessary,” he added.
“Turkey will continue to advocate for Africa’s rightful place in the global order and ensure that its voice is heard more in the multilateral system,” he added.
