Turkey is a strategic partner and key NATO Ally that sits on the frontline of some of the most difficult and serious security and humanitarian challenges we face. The UK will continue to work closely with Turkey on challenges to our peace and security, and on strengthening our trading relationship (which was worth £18.9bn in 2019) following agreement of a Free Trade Agreement in December 2020.
