"Turkey’s visibility at UN to rise with new mission
Turkey has been elected as vice president of the UN General Assembly, an appointment considered by Ankara as a chance to raise the country's visibility in the 192-member influential body.

Turkey's mission, which will be carried out by its permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Baki İlkin, will start at the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly, which will be held in New York this autumn and will continue until the next session of the general assembly one year later."
