Vice President Fuat Oktay extended Türkiye's congratulations to the newly-crowned British King Charles III after attending the country's first coronation service since 1953, TurkicWorld reports with the reference to Daily Sabah.
"We attended the coronation ceremony of King Charles III of the U.K. I extend my congratulations to King Charles III, the Royal family, the people and the government of the U.K. I believe that Türkiye-U.K. relations will become even stronger in the new period," Oktay said on Twitter.
The Archbishop of Canterbury crowned King Charles III by placing the 360-year-old Saint Edward's Crown on the monarch's head in a lavish coronation ceremony in London on Saturday as he sat upon a 14th-century throne in Westminster Abbey.
It was the final mile of a seven-decade journey for Charles from heir to monarch.
To the royal family and government, the occasion – code-named Operation Golden Orb – is a display of heritage, tradition and spectacle unmatched around the world.
