On Tuesday 24 October 2023, the IOC’s Executive Director, Abdellatif Ghedira, welcomed the recently appointed Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to Spain, Nüket Küçükel Ezberci.
Both representatives exchanged their views on the current global situation of the olive oil sector, discussing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for this millennial crop, essential both for Türkiye, the larger Mediterranean region and the world as a whole.
The Executive Director also took this opportunity to invite Ambassador Ezberci to the upcoming 118th session of the Council of Members, Türkiye being an essential member of this intergovernmental organisation, as well as to the celebration of World Olive Day on Thursday 23 November which, this year, will be dedicated to the vital role of women in the olive world.
