So it is now: Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during his visit to Turkey as President of the Association of Cities.
In fact, it was said to the very end that Ludwig would only speak to the president of the Turkish Association of Cities, Fatma Şahin. But after the exchange on Friday afternoon, an appointment with President Erdoğan was also on the agenda in the afternoon. The dominant topics of the hour-long talk were the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the current wave of inflation, the impact of the pandemic on tourism and relations between Austria and Turkey. During the friendly talks, however, the possible accession of Turkey to the EU was also discussed. Ludwig also referred to the non-negotiable criteria on the part of the European Union.
More meetings with clergy and business
Ludwig himself will remain in Istanbul until Saturday. Meetings with various religious representatives were also on the agenda. Talks with business people are also scheduled for Saturday.
