G20

Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek has held a series of talks at the first G20 finance ministers and central bank governors' meeting of the year in Sau Paulo, Brazil.

Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek has met with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on the sidelines of the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors' summit in Brazil.

"I met with Minister Mehmet Şimşek to discuss how Türkiye and the United States can work together to address crucial regional issues," Yellen wrote on the social media platform X.

Turkish and Russian foreign ministers, Hakan Fidan and Sergey Lavrov respectively, had a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial in Brazil in which they discussed the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the continued Israeli offensive against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Türkiye's top diplomat has called on the G20 to play a more effective role in ending the tragedy of the Palestinians in Gaza through a full ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, in his diplomatic contacts on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial in Brazil.

Brazil criticized the "paralysis" of the U.N. Security Council on the wars in Gaza and Ukraine as it opened a G20 meeting Wednesday where the international community's deep divisions were on display.

G20 foreign ministers open a two-day meeting Wednesday in Brazil, with the outlook bleak for progress on a thorny agenda of conflicts and crises, from the Gaza and Ukraine wars to growing polarization.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will attend the G20 foreign ministerial held by Brazil, which is running the term presidency of the group, where he will once again emphasize the need for quick global action to stop the ongoing massacres of Israel in Gaza.
