Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Burak Akcapar will pay a working visit to Ethiopia on May 1-4, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Monday. During meetings between Akcapar and Ethiopian authorities, the repatriation of Turkish citizens in conflict-torn Sudan through Ethiopia, bilateral relations, and regional developments will be discussed, said a ministry statement. Previously, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Akcapar will visit Ethiopia soon, touting his “expertise in mediation. Turkish authorities have been evacuating Turkish nationals and some others out of the country, normally using neighboring Ethiopia as a stopover on the way home. During Akcapar’s meetings with African Union authorities, decisions taken at the Third Türkiye-Africa Partnership Summit in 2021 and the progress in joint projects will be reviewed.
