Turkey's Increasing Global Influence

A special section was dedicated to Turkey in the report, addressing Ankara's increasing global influence and strategic position in detail.

The rapid and steady growth in the domestic defense industry was cited among the fundamental factors determining Turkey's place in the new power map.

Balance Diplomacy and Strategic Maneuver

The foreign policy strategy pursued by Turkey was termed balance diplomacy in the report and was emphasized with praise.

Maintaining relations with various global actors alongside NATO membership was evaluated as strategic maneuverability.
