International trade is a key focus for the Government's strategy to deliver growth across the UK. The existing strong trading relationship between the UK and Turkey saw total trade reach £28.3 billion in 2025, marking a 3.9% increase from the previous year. Building on this foundation aims to unlock new opportunities for businesses, workers, and consumers nationwide.
Negotiators engaged in productive discussions covering a wide array of areas, including services, goods, investment, digital trade, intellectual property, government procurement, and trade remedies. The focus was on advancing text, reviewing proposals, and identifying common ground, while upholding the UK’s high standards and pursuing ambitious outcomes to support businesses and economic growth.
The UK is committed to signing trade agreements that align with its national interests and maintain high standards across all sectors. Both sides are committed to constructive engagement towards the seventh round of negotiations in the coming months, with Ministers set to update Parliament on the progress.
