On March 10, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the third reactor of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) under construction in Turkey's Mersin province.
According to Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez, the event will take place in a video conference format.
Russia and Turkey signed an agreement on the construction of the Akkuyu NPP in 2010, and two years ago, the leaders of the two countries laid the foundation of the plant's first reactor online.
