Visit of the Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to the Red Cross of North Macedonia

Today, the Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye, HE Fatih Ulusoy, visited the Red Cross of North Macedonia and was received by the Secretary General of the Red Cross of RNM, PhD. Sait Saiti. The Ambassador visited the “Kopce” project of the Red Cross in Skopje, which enables a more efficient distribution system of clothing to people at risk, provides easy access to affordable clothing for all citizens, and aims to preserve the dignity of those with low income. The project also focuses on the employment of vulnerable target groups and contributes to environmental protection.

During the visit, the Ambassador was informed about the humanitarian aid in clothing, shoes, and bedding that the Red Cross of RNM received from the Turkish Red Crescent as a gesture of gratitude from the Turkish people for the solidarity shown by our citizens, organizations, and companies for the aid donated by the Red Cross of RNM to support the victims of the earthquake in Türkiye. The total donation, amounting to $143,000 will be distributed through the City Red Cross of Skopje and the Red Cross branches across the country to vulnerable target groups.

The Secretary General expressed gratitude to the Ambassador for the ongoing cooperation and international support in addressing humanitarian challenges, as well as for the donation received through the Turkish Red Crescent, which is of great importance for our organization to assist many vulnerable citizens in need.
