Jill Morris, the UK’s envoy to Ankara, acknowledged Türkiye’s remarkable journey, vision, and resilience in celebration of the centenary of the Republic of Türkiye.
Speaking to Anadolu, Morris said that undertaking her duty during the special time in the country’s history is a “great honor.”
“Today, we are not just celebrating the birth of modern Türkiye but the vision, resilience, and determination of a nation,” she said.
The ambassador noted the close ties between the two countries, dating to the 16th century when England sent its first envoy to the Ottoman Empire.
“Our countries are in a very close and productive engagement in the international arena too. Cooperation between our two countries in important platforms such as NATO, G20 and the Council of Europe are of great importance to enhance global peace and prosperity. These partnerships contribute to a more stable and fair future around the world,” she said.
Highlighting the strategic partnership in the face of regional and global challenges, Morris said: “We look to evaluate new opportunities in many fields, from the economy to defense, from science and technology to art in the coming period too.”
“I see this important landmark as an opportunity to celebrate the values and achievements of our strategic partnership,” she said. “And, as I congratulate the Republic of Türkiye on its centenary, I am confident that the relations between our countries will become even stronger in Türkiye’s next 100 years.”
