@trBritish @AysenGuven1 @BritishCouncil @Tubitak A very interesting panel discussion. So good to see how UK and Turkiye research partners have stayed in touch and continue to collaborate, all of which speaks to the sustainability of the relationship.

A completely magical evening with the beautiful sound of the harp played by Sioned Williams. Evoking Wales, its spirit, its poetry, its language and music. So pleased we supported Sioned’s visit and the Ceren Necipoglu Istanbul International Harp festival. @BCouncil_Wales

[UK in Türkiye @UKinTurkiye]

Sioned Williams’ opening recital was a celebration of art and collaboration between our nations 🇬🇧🇹🇷

Thank you @trBritish for making this collaboration possible.

We are proud to support the inspiring 2nd Ceren Necipoğlu İstanbul International Harp Festival!
