US & Turkey hold joint military drills, largest in 7 years, in a bid to improve ties | Oneindia News
Turkey and the US held their largest joint military exercises in at least seven years.
It is reported to be a sign of improving ties between the two nations as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks another meeting with Joe Biden next month.
Reports quoted three Turkish officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
They said that the past week’s drills, along with a visit from a bipartisan Congressional delegation, show both sides seeking to rebuild their longtime alliance.
The officials reportedly said that Turkey is seeking to arrange a meeting between Erdogan and the US president on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in New Delhi, following one in Lithuania last month.
