Foreign Minister Fidan meets with German Chancellor Merz

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with Chancellor Friedrich Merz during his official visit to Berlin, Germany's capital. Fidan's Berlin schedule represents a high-level contact of significance for strengthening bilateral relations between Turkey and Germany.

Germany ranks among Turkey's most important trade and dialogue partners in Europe. The two countries maintain a comprehensive agenda encompassing economic relations, migration issues, energy cooperation, and regional security. Turkey also plays a critical role in European security architecture as a NATO member.

Friedrich Merz, as chairman of the CDU, became German Chancellor at the beginning of this year and has prioritized international contacts since taking office. This meeting between Fidan and Merz once again demonstrates the two countries' commitment to maintaining high-level diplomatic dialogue.
