TRT World Forum 2024 begins in Istanbul

ISTANBUL

The prestigious organization of TRT, which shapes the global agenda, is being held for the eighth time this year. Experts in various fields, including academics, politicians, civil society workers, think tank specialists, bureaucrats, and journalists, will meet in Istanbul for two days to address important global issues.

The event will begin with an opening speech by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Since 2017, President Erdoğan has made significant contributions to shaping both Türkiye’s and the world’s agenda through his speeches at the TRT World Forum.

Among the topics to be discussed on the first day of the forum are “Elections 2024 in US and EU Members: What Lies Ahead for Global Democracy?”, “Transforming Tomorrow: The Power of Eco-Regeneration”, and “Türkiye’s Path Forward: Fostering Dialogue and Containing Global Crises.”
