Germany’s Economy and Energy Minister Katherina Reiche is expected to visit Türkiye later this week for high-level talks on strengthening trade and energy cooperation, according to her ministry on Monday.

"Türkiye is a strategically important partner for Germany," ministry spokesperson Susanne Ungrad told reporters in Berlin.

"The visit on Thursday and Friday will focus on the German-Turkish economic and energy partnership," she said.

Reiche is scheduled to attend meetings of the Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO) and the German-Turkish Energy Forum, both long-standing platforms for deepening bilateral ties.

She will also hold direct talks with Turkish ministerial counterparts, accompanied by around 30 business leaders from key economic and energy sectors.
