Niger’s President Tiani to Visit Türkiye in June for Talks with Erdoğan

Niger’s head of state, Abdourahamane Tiani, is expected to travel to Türkiye in June for an official visit, where he will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The meeting is anticipated to focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation across key sectors, including defense, energy, and economic development. Relations between Niger and Türkiye have expanded in recent years, reflecting Ankara’s broader engagement across Africa and Niamey’s efforts to diversify its international partnerships.

Discussions are also likely to address regional security challenges in the Sahel, as well as opportunities for increased investment and technical collaboration.

The visit is seen as a step toward reinforcing political dialogue and deepening strategic alignment between the two countries.
