During a recent conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President Biden said he hopes to meet with him within the next five years. This happened at a meeting of NATO, the military alliance, where both praised Sweden for becoming the new member.
“I look forward to meeting with the next five years,” Biden said at the NATO summit in Vilnius.
Turkish President Receyip Erdogan welcomed his “dear friend [from] the United States.” She also thanked him for congratulating him on his re-election.
“I am grateful for the congratulatory messages you have sent me, of strategic management and within the framework of our strategic mechanism. I think it’s my time for the heads of state to meet for new consultations,” the Turkish president said. “That’s why I think today’s meeting with you at the NATO Summit is the first step forward”.
“Our meetings before this were mere warm-ups, but now we are starting a new process,” he added. “This new process is a five-year process. And now you are preparing for the next election. And with the upcoming elections, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you the best of luck as well.”
“Thank you very much,” Biden remarked. “I look forward to meeting you in the next five years.”
Earlier, Turkey had some problems with Sweden joining NATO. But they decided to drop these issues, which allowed Sweden to become the 32nd official member of NATO. Sweden had already done everything necessary to join, but was waiting for all members to agree.
Biden said he was happy to see President Erdogan again and called their meeting special. He added: “Thank you for your diplomacy and courage, and how you have taken it on. And I want to thank you for your leadership. Mr. President, this summit is reaffirming our commitment to NATO, the defense of NATO and NATO allies and I hope we can make it even stronger.”
Meanwhile, Biden has frequently stumbled at the NATO summit. He couldn’t get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s name right, calling him “Vladimir.” [incidentally, Putin’s first name], and then apologizing for being too “famous.” He also appeared lost at times among foreign dignitaries.
