Turkish FM Fidan meets Japanese, Indonesian counterparts on sidelines of G20 in Atlanta
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met Japan's Toshimitsu Motegi and Indonesia's Arrmanatha Nasir on the sidelines of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, calling for deeper trade and investment ties with Tokyo.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held talks with his Japanese and Indonesian counterparts on Friday on the sidelines of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, hosted by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Trade and investment with Japan
In his meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, Fidan stressed the importance of further expanding trade and investment ties and carrying cooperation into new areas, according to Turkish diplomatic sources. He also called for increasing mutual investment and for Turkish and Japanese companies to work together on projects in third countries.
The two ministers also discussed recent high-level visits between the countries as well as developments in the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. Türkiye and Japan marked the centennial of their diplomatic relations in 2024.
Talks with Indonesia's new top diplomat
Fidan also met Indonesian Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir. A career diplomat who previously served as Indonesia's permanent representative to the United Nations in New York, Nasir was appointed by President Prabowo Subianto on Oct. 1, replacing Sugiono in a cabinet reshuffle.
Defense ties between Ankara and Jakarta have deepened in recent years. In June 2025, Indonesia signed a deal to buy 48 KAAN fighter jets developed by Turkish Aerospace.
A G20 meeting without a family photo
The two-day meeting, held Oct. 30-31 under the U.S. presidency of the G20, opened without the traditional family photo of the participating ministers. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is among the attendees, having flown more than 20 hours to reach Atlanta.
Fidan is expected to use the sessions on geopolitical tensions and on energy and supply chains to call for greater international pressure on Israel over Gaza and to highlight Türkiye's contacts with both Russia and Ukraine aimed at restoring security in the Black Sea.
