This will be Turkish president's first attendance at an international summit following his victory in June 24 elections

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will attend his first major international summit since getting reelected on Wednesday when he attends the NATO heads of state and government meeting in Brussels.

The NATO meeting will take place for the first time at the new alliance headquarters.


At the meeting, Erdoğan will meet and hold bilateral meetings with a number of world leaders, including American President Donal Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
