The 5th Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF2026), hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye, welcomed Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) President HRH Princess Rym Ali, Executive Director Josep Ferré, and the ALF Türkiye Network Co-Heads. Under the theme “Mapping Tomorrow, Managing Uncertainties,” the Foundation highlighted the strategic necessity of cultural diplomacy in addressing regional challenges.

Princess Rym Ali participated in the panel “Cultural Diplomacy: Bridging Divides, Building Trust,” where she addressed how cultural engagement serves as a credible tool for rebuilding trust in a polarised global landscape. The ALF delegation also attended the high-level session on Palestine, convened under the auspices of H.E. First Lady Emine Erdoğan, focusing on protecting educational rights.

On the sidelines, high-level meetings were held with Deputy Foreign Minister Mehmet Kemal Bozay and various international stakeholders to strengthen civil society’s role in multilateral cooperation. This participation reinforced ALF’s mission of intercultural dialogue and showcased the active work of the Türkiye Network on a global stage, providing a vital platform for building alliances between institutions and grassroots organisations.
