HM Government places a great deal of importance on protecting the strong trading relationship between the United Kingdom and Turkey.

The United Kingdom-Turkey Trade Working Group was established in January 2017 and is working to secure a bilateral trade agreement as soon as possible. The Group met most recently in Ankara in February, and productive conversations are continuing through this challenging time.
