Crosetto arrived in the capital Ankara at the invitation of Güler and was welcomed by the Turkish counterpart with a military ceremony.
The two defense chiefs met last year in Kosovo ahead of a military ceremony when Türkiye handed over the command of NATO’s Kosovo Peacekeeping Force (KFOR) to Italy, a year after it assumed the role for the first time.
Türkiye and Italy have made significant progress in defense cooperation, as Turkish Baykar Technologies and Italy’s giants Leonardo and Piaggio Aerospace signed partnership agreements in March.
