The agency will relocate to the Istanbul office its key operations, including human resources, emergency operations, and major finance and administration units.
“This resolution was supported by our country in line with our vision for Istanbul to become a United Nations center,” the decree stated.
The agreement for the establishment of the UNICEF office in Istanbul was signed in New York in 2023, and the move is expected to further strengthen Türkiye's collaboration with the UN agency. The decision underscores Türkiye’s commitment to supporting global UN activities.
