The photograph was taken on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, hosted by Turkey in Antalya province, which saw a notable presence of prominent figures.
The Syrian president arrived in Antalya on November 11 to participate in the leaders’ sessions and held several bilateral meetings. Uzerli is attending the summit to raise awareness about the urgent need to address the climate crisis.
