President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated on Monday that Türkiye is holding discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration on major regional matters, such as the Gaza crisis, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the situation in Syria, The Caspian Post reports citing Turkish media.

"Our contacts have intensified, and institutional dialogue has gained fresh momentum in Trump's second term," Erdoğan told a dinner hosted by the Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC) in New York City.

On meeting Trump on Thursday, Erdoğan said that the encounter would allow them to tackle a range of pressing matters.

"Thanks to my longstanding friendship with Trump, we've built a shared commitment to resolving key items on our agenda," Erdoğan noted.

He also highlighted the growing influence of the Muslim community in the U.S., describing it as a "source of confidence and courage for Muslims worldwide."

In a world marked by deepening polarization across diplomacy, security, economy and technology, Erdoğan stressed that Turkish-American ties are "more indispensable than ever."

He reaffirmed Ankara's push to strengthen relations grounded in alliance and strategic partnership.
