Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (R) meets with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (L) as part of the NATO Heads of State and Government Summit in Washington DC., United States on July 11, 2024.
WASHINGTON
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and newly-elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met Thursday for the first time in the US.
The closed-door meeting came on the sidelines of the last day of a NATO summit in Washington where NATO leaders gathered Tuesday to mark the military alliance's 75th anniversary.
No further information was disclosed about the meeting.
It was the first face-to-face meeting between Erdogan and Starmer after he became prime minister last week when his Labour Party won the House of Commons by a landslide, capturing 412 of the chamber's 650 seats.
