ALBAWABA - In an unexpected meeting, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan welcomed Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, in the United States. Notably, Musk arrived at the meeting with his child.
During their interaction, President Erdoğan extended a warm invitation to Musk for the upcoming "Teknofest" event set to take place in Izmir, Turkey.
President Erdoğan seized the opportunity to discuss the potential for collaboration between Turkey's ambitious space program and SpaceX's innovative initiatives. He specifically emphasized the chance for partnership in various space-related projects.
Additionally, President Erdoğan made a noteworthy gesture by inviting Musk's child to "Teknofest," reflecting the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the meeting.
Beyond diplomatic discussions, President Erdoğan presented Musk with two significant books: "A Fairer World is Possible," authored by the president himself, and "UN Reform: A New Approach to International Cooperation," a publication prepared by the Presidency of Communication.
These books shed light on Turkey's technological advancements, the Digital Turkey Vision, and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy. Furthermore, they outline the rationale behind Turkey's request for reform within the United Nations Security Council.
As a thoughtful touch, President Erdoğan also gifted a soccer ball to Musk's child, making the meeting not only productive but also memorable on a personal level. The outcomes of this diplomatic rendezvous may potentially lead to exciting developments in the collaboration between Turkey and Musk's companies, particularly in the realm of space exploration.
