EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is due to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday ahead of a critical NATO summit in Ankara next week, according to two EU officials familiar with her plans.

Kallas is visiting Turkey alongside Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos and Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner as part of a high-level trio seeking to foster deeper ties with Ankara at a moment when wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are reshaping Europe’s security priorities.

The talks are expected to focus on preparations for the July 7-8 NATO summit and regional security, according to the officials.
