en.Wedoany.com Reported - In an exclusive interview with a South Korean television station, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made important statements regarding Turkey's energy independence, defense industry, and global diplomatic landscape. Among these, the new steps taken concerning the Sinop Nuclear Power Plant project have drawn particular attention, as this project is seen as a critical turning point that will directly impact Turkey's energy future and employment opportunities.

Fidan announced that Turkey has restarted formal negotiations with South Korea regarding the planned second nuclear power plant, the Sinop Nuclear Power Plant. He stated that Turkey had previously held consultations with the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) in 2008 and 2009, but no final agreement was reached at that time. Now, both sides are bringing this issue back to the negotiating table.

Fidan emphasized that Turkey values the participation of South Korean technology in its nuclear energy investments. The Sinop Nuclear Power Plant, a major energy project, will not only help enhance Turkey's energy supply security but also create thousands of new job opportunities for the local population during its construction and operation phases, thereby boosting regional economic development.

Regarding the NATO summit to be held in Ankara next month, Fidan stated that Turkey expects U.S. President Donald Trump to attend. He believes that this summit will further consolidate Turkey's diplomatic influence. Fidan also reiterated that the existing global security architecture and the United Nations system are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of today's world, and that establishing a more just international system has become imperative.
