The European Union is moving to deepen ties with Turkey, which it views as key to regional stability in a shifting geopolitical landscape, advancing cooperation on foreign policy, connectivity, trade and migration.
On Tuesday, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner, and Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos travelled to Turkey to meet President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, followed by talks with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. EU officials dubbed the trip a "jumbo meeting."
