MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th June, 2021) Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Monday he had discussed bilateral, regional and international issues with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Cavusoglu arrived in France on Sunday for a two-day visit.
"We talked about our multidimensional bilateral relations, regional and international developments with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. We aim to strengthen our relations with France on the basis of mutual respect," Cavusoglu tweeted, sharing a photo from their meeting.
Turkish-French relations have deteriorated in recent years due to the disagreements over the Eastern Mediterranean, Libya and the Armenian-Azerbaijani issue as well as the controversies of Turkish President Erdogan and French President Macron. Last March, Erdogan and Macron had a meeting via video conference in order to ease tension.
