Istanbul, Turkey, SONNA):- The Republic of Turkey continues to strengthen its growing ties with the African continent, with the launch of TRT AFRIKA, a new edition of the international Turkish public broadcaster of TRT World that will cater to the African continent.

The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism of Somalia, Mr. Daud Aweis Jama, and the Head of the Media Council of Turkey, Prof. Fahrettin Altun, have officially unveiled TRT AFRIKA in Istanbul on Friday.

TRT AFRIKA, new digital branch of TRT international will offer programming in politics, business, art, culture, science and technology, youth, and sports, and is expected to reachbabout 400 million viewers in Africa and abroad.

It is part of the strengthening of relations between African countries and Turkey, and Somalia is one of the countries that will benefit from the programs and news that TRT AFRIKA will broadcast.

At the 1st Conference of the African Union Media Association and TRT, Mr. Aweis, the Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism of Somalia also participated in discussions about the strengthening of relations and cooperation between African media and TRT.

The minister also attended a meeting to analyze the relationship between Africa and Turkey and the

role of the media in enhancing cooperation between the two sides.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Mr. Aweis emphasized that the relationship between Africa and Turkey is getting stronger and is a basis for cooperation and progress.

He also highlighted that 38 African countries have embassies in Turkey, while Turkey has 44 embassies in Africa, reflecting the importance of relations and cooperation between the two sides.

As the continent continues to experience economic, political, and social transformations, TRT

AFRIKA’s role in disseminating accurate and balanced information about African realities can help counter stereotypes and misconceptions, and promote positive perceptions of Africa in the global arena.
