Turkey: Trade Agreements
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the timetable for the next round of negotiations on an enhanced free trade agreement with Türkiye.
- Answer
-
Delivering good growth across the UK is the government’s top priority. Bilateral trade with Turkey was worth over £28 billion last year, roughly doubling in the past decade in current prices. Negotiations to enhance the UK’s current free trade agreement with Turkey, which came into force in 2021, aim to build on this important trading relationship.
The fifth round of negotiations took place in Ankara between 15 and 23 June 2026, during which negotiators held constructive discussions across a wide range of areas. The sixth round of negotiations is expected to take place in London in the early autumn and will seek to build on the strong record of the negotiation’s 11 closed chapters to date.
