IR Students Visit Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Meet Minister Davutoğlu

Undergraduate students from the Department of International Relations recently visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The visit was organized by Ambassador (Ret.) Onur Gökçe, who teaches courses on Turkish foreign policy and diplomacy at Bilkent University. The students, who are interested in pursuing diplomatic careers, were welcomed by two diplomats from the Ministry. Refreshments were served before the presentation, during which detailed information was given about how the Ministry functions and the procedure of the entrance exams. After the briefing, just as they were about to leave the Ministry, the group by chance encountered Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoğlu and had a quick conversation with him. Pleased with the students' interest, the minister suggested that the group also take a tour inside the Ministry.
