Turkey and the European Union convened for a critical economic summit. The meeting, held after a 6-year gap, included the Turkish Minister of Treasury and Finance Şimşek and senior EU officials. The Turkey-European Union (EU) High-Level Economic Dialogue Meeting is taking place in Brussels after a six-year hiatus. The meeting, which started in the morning at the EU Commission headquarters in Brussels, was attended by many high-level officials such as the Turkish Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek, EU Commissioner for Economy Valdis Dombrovskis, and EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos. The initial part of the meeting will focus on the macroeconomic outlooks of Turkey and the EU, steps that can be taken in the competitiveness field, and structural reforms. Minister Şimşek and Commissioner Dombrovskis will co-chair these sessions. In the second part, leading representatives of the business world from Turkey and the EU will evaluate joint investment and trade opportunities together with ministers and commissioners. Senior executives from European-based financial institutions such as the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will also participate in the meetings. It is expected that Minister Şimşek will also hold bilateral meetings with Dombrovskis and Kos during the summit. The meeting is crucial for strengthening economic relations between the parties and deepening strategic cooperation. The Turkey-EU High-Level Economic Dialogue Meeting was previously held in the years 2016, 2017, and 2019. Minister Şimşek represented Turkey at the first meeting as well. The decision to resume the high-level dialogue meeting after a 6-year gap was made.
