Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan received Polish President Karol Nawrocki at the Turkish House (Türkevi) in New York on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Anadolu Agency reported, citing Türkiye's Communications Directorate.

According to the statement, Erdoğan said it would be beneficial to take further steps to increase trade between the two countries, and that work is under way to advance cooperation in several areas, particularly the defence industry.

The two leaders also discussed regional and international developments. Erdoğan said Türkiye is working to help end the war between Russia and Ukraine and to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea. On Gaza, he stressed the need for continued international support and a two-state solution.
