Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has held a phone call with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, congratulating him on Spain’s FIFA World Cup victory.
During the call on Tuesday, the two leaders discussed bilateral ties as well as regional and global developments, according to a statement shared by Türkiye’s Communications Directorate on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal.
Erdogan said he was particularly moved by the joy of the people of Gaza, who celebrated Spain’s championship despite the devastation caused by Israel’s attacks.
He said Spain’s “conscientious and moral” stance on the Palestinian issue had also resonated with football fans around the world.
