Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will address the high-level General Debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

Heads of state and government from UN member states will take the podium in the Assembly Hall to present their priorities to the international community.

Brazil has traditionally been the first country to speak during the General Debate since the 10th session of the General Assembly in 1955, with exceptions in 1983 and 1984. The host country, the United States, will speak after Brazil.

Erdogan will be the fourth speaker on the opening day, following Jordan. His address will mark his 16th appearance before the General Assembly.

The main focus of his speech is expected to be Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, the need for recognition of Palestine as a state and possible international measures against Israel, The Caspian Post reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

During his visit to New York, Erdogan is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, as well as with heads of state and government from various countries.

He is also expected to participate in several events with representatives of Turkish citizens living in the US, members of the Turkish-American business community and think tank representatives.

On Wednesday, Erdogan will deliver remarks at the UN Secretary-General's Climate Summit.

Türkiye is scheduled to host the UN's annual Climate Change Summit, known as COP31, in the Mediterranean city of Antalya in November.
