Dear Friends of Türkiye,

Welcome to the official website of the Embassy of Türkiye in New Delhi. I have arrived in New Delhi and assumed my duties as the Ambassador of Türkiye on April 1st 2025.

It will be a distinct honour to represent Türkiye in India, Nepal and Bhutan— each home to ancient civilizations and playing vital roles in the dynamic, rapidly developing Asia region, which holds significant potential in shaping the global future.

The relations between Türkiye and India are deeply rooted in history. Soon after India achieved independence in 1947, diplomatic ties were established between our countries. The Embassy of Türkiye in New Delhi opened its doors in 1948. As lasting symbols of the long-standing friendship between our nations, one of the most prominent streets in New Delhi —home to the Honourable Prime Minister’s official residence— was named “Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Marg,” and two streets in Ankara were named after two great friends of Türkiye, Mahatma Gandhiji and Rabindranath Tagore.

Today, Türkiye and India stand as rising powers with growing influence both regionally and globally. There is great potential for deepened cooperation between the two countries across a broad spectrum, ranging from trade and investment to science, tourism, culture, and education. High-level engagements continue through bilateral visits and multilateral platforms. We shall strive to further strengthen and expand our relations in the period ahead.

I highly value the insights and contributions of the friends of Türkiye and look forward to working in close dialogue and cooperation with you all.

Sincerely,

Ali Murat Ersoy

Ambassador
