As a growing global brand of a strengthening Türkiye, we established our first overseas representation in 2009 with the mission of increasing Türkiye's international recognition, credibility, and reputation. With the vision of connecting with Turkey everywhere and fostering friendship with our people, we have now reached 95 overseas representations in 71 countries.

While telling Türkiye's stories across the globe, establishing a foundation for dialogue between the Turkish nation and other nations has always been among our priorities. In this regard, with the understanding that "horizons are not far," we have established and continue to establish lasting connections through our representations in different geographies, aiming to reach the furthest corners of the world.

As the Yunus Emre Institute, we continue our multifaceted and multidimensional activities to promote our culture and art globally, recognizing the significant role of culture in building trust and fostering dialogue among different societies.

We continue our activities with great momentum to promote our ancient Turkish language worldwide and to strengthen its performance among world languages. We contribute to Turkology departments by supporting academic and scientific studies while increasing intercultural exchanges and collaborations on the basis of language-culture relations.

With the motto "From a Türkiye interwoven with iron networks to a Türkiye interwoven with world cultural networks in its 100th year," we aim to keep Türkiye, Anatolia's rich cultural heritage, the Turkish language, culture, and art alive in the world through our activities carried out in the 100th year of the Republic. In the future, we will continue to work towards increasing friendship and cultural exchange between Turkey and other countries, adopting Yunus's understanding of "Let's get to know each other," which he most eloquently expressed, as our guiding principle.

With my sincerest love and respect,
