The delegation met representatives of the Maarif Foundation, Turkish cooperation agency TIKA, higher-education authorities, the health and education ministries, and the Foreign Economic Relations Board. AIB said Maarif accepted requests for increased scholarships and support for teaching and vocational training; discussions with TIKA included cooperation in emergency medicine. (aib.media)
The report documents efforts to broaden cooperation beyond security. It does not provide a consolidated financing package, implementation timetable or evidence that every proposal discussed has become a funded commitment. The new element in this window is publication of the consultations’ reported outcomes. (aib.media)
