00:00And in this context we have our correspondent in Turkey, Yunus Oner, who has more details on this important gathering
00:07taking place in Antalya.
00:11Hello from Turkey, from the city of Antalya, where the Antalya Diplomacy Forum has started on this Friday.
00:18The forum is being organized by the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
00:22Therefore, the Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has held the inaugural speech of this Convention of International Dimensions.
00:31In his speech, Hakan Fidan emphasized that the chaos on the global affairs is surging from Israel's expansionism,
00:42which started in the genocide against Gaza, then continued with attacks on Syria, and then with Lebanon,
00:50and now these days with the attack on Iran.
00:53He was followed by the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
00:57who emphasized in his speech that this aggression, which has been ignored by the so-called rules-based order,
01:06is putting the international system itself in danger.
01:11According to the Turkish President, the global system itself is being questioned more and more
01:16due to its lack of defending the most vulnerable on the planet,
01:22which are the Palestinians that are subjected to genocide.
01:27The International Diplomacy Forum of Antalya is an annual event.
01:33This year is the fifth time it is being held, and 155 countries are being represented here at this forum
01:42in the city of Antalya.
01:4421 heads of state or heads of government are here.
01:48Also, more than 60 ministers of them, 52 foreign affairs ministers are being present in this forum,
01:56which will continue three days on with different panels and forums touching on different issues.
02:04But of course, the war in West Asia is at the core of the discussions.
02:09So, there is a lot of talk on this forum already about the security architecture,
02:16which is needed to be built in West Asia after the war.
02:19This is an idea that is being discussed between Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
02:26And it's noteworthy that the Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, is also here at the forum,
02:32remembered that Pakistan has facilitated the talks between Iran and the United States in Islamabad recently.
02:39Besides that security architecture, there will be also forums that will be dedicated to the discussion about energy security after
02:48the war.
02:49There are different ideas being discussed here with participation also from leaders from Arab countries
02:55regarding new lines of connectivity in West Asia and securing energy supplies from the region to the rest of the
03:07world.
03:07But the war in West Asia and the West Asian situation is not what this forum is limited to.
03:15It will also discuss topics such as global reform of the multilateral system.
03:22Here, a number of African countries which are being represented here at the forum will raise their voice.
03:28Also, regarding the reform of the international economic system,
