Türkiye, UK sign new security, defense partnership deal
Türkiye and the United Kingdom have signed a new security and defense partnership agreement aimed at expanding cooperation between the two NATO allies across a range of areas, including the defense industry, cybersecurity and counter-terrorism.
The agreement seeks to elevate defense ties between Ankara and London by strengthening collaboration in areas such as combating hybrid threats and enhancing cooperation in defense-related fields, according to reports.
Officials did not provide details on the scope of the agreement or whether it includes any mutual defense commitments.
The deal follows a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Ankara, where NATO leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, gathered for the alliance’s annual summit.
