In a message to congratulate his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the occasion of Republic Day of Turkey, President Raisi emphasized on Saturday that the Republic of Turkey and the Islamic Republic of Iran are two independent countries with long-standing good neighborliness, which are opposing unilateralism at the global level.

The serious willingness of the two nations to fully implement the comprehensive plan of long-term cooperation will create a brilliant outlook for consolidation of affinities as well as the realization of joint objectives and protection of common interests, the Iranian chief executive mentioned.

October 29 was coined as the Republic Day of Turkey, which came into effect in 1923.
