She was accompanied by Mr Murat Çalışkan, Deputy Head of the Turkish Embassy.

The purpose of this courtesy visit was to maintain the already strong link between Türkiye and the Organisation. Mrs İncesu and Mr Kuzmenko exchanged views on possible improvements to international rail traffic, the significant development of railways in Türkiye and the Global Forum on Transport Connectivity, to be held in Istanbul from 27 to 29 June.

Turkey is an active member of OTIF and is currently also a member of the Organisation’s Administrative Committee.

The Secretary General welcomes this visit and thanks Mrs İncesu for this exchange.
