Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaged in a phone call on Tuesday, addressing several significant topics.

One of the key points of discussion was the recent attack on the Turkish House (Türkevi) located in New York City.

The attack raised concerns and prompted a need for diplomatic measures to ensure the safety and security of Turkish institutions abroad.

Another crucial matter on the agenda was Sweden's NATO accession process.

Turkey has expressed concerns about the presence of PKK/YPG and Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) terrorists in Sweden, and it demands the extradition of these individuals and effective cooperation from Stockholm to combat these extremist groups.

Resolving these issues is essential to progress Sweden's membership process within NATO.

The discussion also touched upon defense cooperation between Turkey and the United States.

Cooperation in the defense industry, as well as the Istanbul grain deal, were highlighted as areas of mutual interest and collaboration.
