The two-day summit takes place as the international community is expressing growing concerns over the continued regional conflicts in the Middle East and Eurasia.

Erdoğan is expected to urge the international community to do more to end the wars taking place in Gaza and Lebanon as well as in Ukraine.

On the first day of the summit, he will meet Putin, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.

The last meeting between Erdoğan and Putin took place in Astana in early July. Their agenda included energy cooperation and the establishment of a natural gas hub in Türkiye as well as regional conflicts.

Erdoğan has long been exerting efforts to end the Russian-Ukrainian war through a fair and lasting agreement.

Two leaders will also address Middle East escalation and fears that the Israel-Hamas war could spread to the region.
