The UK has today [2 November] launched a “Call for Input” seeking views from businesses and the wider public on UK negotiation objectives for a new, modernised free trade agreement (FTA) with Turkiye.

The UK and Turkiye are two major trading economies at either end of the European continent.

Trade between the two countries reached £23.5 billion in 2022, making Turkiye a top 20 trading partner for the UK. In 2021, around 7,500 UK VAT-registered businesses exported goods to Turkiye, including well-known brands like Vodafone.

International Trade Minister, Nigel Huddleston, will launch the “Call for Input” on a visit to Vodafone’s Newbury headquarters. Vodafone is one of the UK’s largest investors in Turkiye.
