Permanent Mission of the Republic of Turkey to the United Nations

The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Turkey to the United Nations represents Turkish government interests at the UN headquarters in New York, NY. As a founding member of the United Nations since 1945, Turkey maintains an active diplomatic presence through its permanent mission, which was formally established in 1947. The mission serves as the official governmental liaison between Turkey and the United Nations organization, facilitating diplomatic communications, policy coordination, and international relations across all UN bodies and agencies. Operating from its New York, NY location, the mission engages in governmental affairs and international diplomacy on behalf of the Turkish state. The mission plays a crucial role in advancing Turkey's positions on global issues, participating in UN debates, negotiations, and decision-making processes. As part of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the permanent mission maintains the highest standards of diplomatic protocol and international relations. The mission's work encompasses coordination with other UN member states, engagement with UN secretariat officials, and representation of Turkish interests in various UN committees and specialized agencies. Based in New York, NY, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Turkey to the United Nations continues the legacy established when Ambassador H.E. Mr. Selim Sarper presented his credentials to the UN Secretary-General, maintaining Turkey's active participation in international governance and multilateral cooperation.
