Ibrahim Kalin, the head of Türkiye’s intelligence organization MIT, will meet on Friday a delegation from the US House of Representatives, security sources said.

The meeting in Ankara is expected to address bilateral relations, the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as the fight against terrorist groups such as the PKK and Daesh/ISIS.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to the US in May will also be discussed, the sources added.

The US delegation is also expected to hold a meeting with Türkiye’s National Defense Minister Yasar Guler.

The session, according to the sources, would address Türkiye’s national security concerns, particularly focusing on issues such as counterterrorism and US support for the PKK/YPG terror group.
