Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan visited Istanbul's Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, prayed at the Sultanahmet Mosque and walked to the Grand Bazaar, accompanied by Deputy Culture and Tourism Minister Dr. Coşkun Yılmaz. Yılmaz presented Khan with a copy of the Quran written in the calligraphy of Mehmed Şevki Efendi. In a social media post about the trip, Khan highlighted the deep-rooted cultural ties between London and Istanbul. The visit underscores the two cities' longstanding cultural links, with any further official engagements between them worth watching.
