Nkeriuka observed that these initiatives do more than create value—they shape a better future for citizens of both nations. Every new step forward deepens understanding and strengthens the bridge of cooperation.
Cultural diplomacy also remains central to this alliance. Educational programmes, student exchanges, and cultural events continue to bring Nigerians and Turks closer together. Such initiatives build empathy and friendship at the human level, which is the foundation of lasting peace. Nkeriuka stressed that diplomacy must always include kindness, connection, and respect for shared humanity. These values ensure that collaboration is not only official but heartfelt.
