Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to improve diplomatic relations with Turkey.

We enjoy highly productive diplomatic relations with Turkey. British Ministers are in regular communication with their Turkish counterparts and our respective embassies are both very active. The Prime Minister is also closely engaged on UK/Turkey issues. In addition to welcoming President Erdoǧan to the UK during his visit in May 2018, the Prime Minister has spoken regularly to the President, most recently on 27 August.
