Noting that Çankaya is in a position where international relations and international cultural diplomacy have always been important, Çankaya Mayor Alper Taşdelen said, Çankaya Municipality has always attached importance to developing social and cultural relations with friendly and brotherly countries in the focus of international policy. Çankaya has sister cities with the connections it has established in many parts of the world at the local level in order to transform the relations seen as “Behind the Walls” into relations of friendship and fraternity between peoples. The good relations established in Çankaya will continue to organize joint events with our sister cities, share knowledge and experience, and develop friendships with the peoples of different countries. We will continue to walk on the path of modern civilization drawn by our leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, saying "Peace at home, peace in the world".
