India skips Turkey national day, to host Cyprus minister
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|October 30, 2025
IN a diplomatic signal reflecting the strain in bilateral relations, India on Wednesday stayed away from Turkish National Day celebrations in New Delhi, reflecting the continuing chill in ties over Ankara’s pro-Pakistan stance during Operation Sindoor and its repeated criticism on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
While no official explanation was offered, New Delhi’s decision to skip the event seen as sending a message, reflecting deep unease that India will not overlook Turkey’s continued political posturing on issues core to its sovereignty.
Speaking at the reception, Turkish Ambassador Ali Murat Ersoy struck a conciliatory note, expressing hope for a reset in ties. “The potential of our relationship far outweighs the current level of engagement. India is one of the most important countries in the world, and we can work together to promote connectivity,” Ersoy said.
