EU stresses cooperation with Türkiye after Ankara talks
Senior European Union officials have called for closer cooperation with Türkiye after talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara, citing security, migration, energy and regional stability.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said after the meeting that Türkiye was “a key partner on security, migration, and energy,” while also pointing to its status as an EU candidate country.
Kallas said the talks focused on ways to further strengthen EU-Türkiye relations and the importance of good-neighborly relations.
“We also addressed Russia's war against Ukraine, the conflicts in the Middle East, and preparations for the NATO Summit in Ankara. Türkiye is making a significant contribution to protecting NATO’s Eastern Flank,” she wrote on X.
