Turkey's foreign minister says Ankara wants to bring Russia and Ukraine's top diplomats together for talks during an international diplomacy forum in the country next week.

Speaking on Friday to reporters in Brussels where he attended a Nato meeting, Mevlut Cavusoglu said Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has confirmed his attendance at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum to be held in the Mediterranean coastal city between March 11-13.

Mr Cavusoglu said a meeting between Mr Lavrov and Ukraine's Dmytro Kuleba could be possible.

The forum is expected to be attended by 12 heads of state, 15 leaders, including three heads of government, 67 ministers, six deputy ministers, and secretaries of 44 regional and international organizations, including NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

Along with international actors, diplomats, business leaders, academics, members of think tanks and representatives of youth and media will also find opportunities to attend and express their views at different panels.

Topics such as democratic governance, energy security, artificial intelligence, metaverse, racism, fight against discrimination, development of Africa, Asia-pacific region, fight against disinformation, irregular migration, fight against terrorism, empowering women, climate change and reconsidering European security will also be discussed at the forum.

More than 2,500 visitors are expected for this year's ADF, which will host four leaders' sessions, 27 panels, four roundtables and two youth events.
