China and Turkey just leveled up their diplomatic game! ๐ Foreign Ministers Wang Yi and Hakan Fidan met at the #G20 summit in Johannesburg, pledging to turbocharge cooperation in renewable energy, AI, and counter-terrorism. Think of it as a Netflix-worthy alliance โ but with real-world impact.
๐ Key moves:
- ๐ก Teamup plans in next-gen tech like renewables and artificial intelligence
- ๐ก๏ธ Joint counter-terrorism efforts to “safeguard peace” regionally and globally
- ๐ China now Turkey’s #2 trading partner (Belt & Road + Middle Corridor = economic glow-up)
Wang called the collab “significant potential for practical cooperation,” while Fidan dropped hints about expanding cultural and academic exchanges. Bonus: Both nations agreed on peaceful solutions for Ukraine and Palestine, proving diplomacy isn’t dead. ๐ฌ
PSA for travelers: Shoutout to Turkey for helping evacuate Chinese citizens from Syria recently! ๐
