Turkish Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said Ankara and Berlin discussed expanding cooperation on trade, energy transition and digital transformation during high-level JETCO talks in the capital, with both sides emphasizing the strategic importance of their $52 billion economic partnership for European supply chains.

Türkiye’s Trade Minister Ömer Bolat on Friday said Türkiye and Germany have discussed deepening economic cooperation across trade, energy and digital sectors during the sixth meeting of the Joint Economic and Trade Commission in Ankara, stressing the strategic value of their integrated supply chains for European competitiveness.

Bolat hosted German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherina Reiche for the JETCO session, with negotiations covering industrial collaboration, green transformation, transportation connectivity and potential cooperation in third markets. The ministers also addressed updates to the Türkiye-EU Customs Union and measures to ease visa procedures for business travelers, Bolat noted on social media platform NSosyal.

Strategic trade partnership

Both sides affirmed that their economic partnership — which generates over $52 billion in annual bilateral trade — remains crucial for the resilience of global supply chains and Europe’s industrial competitiveness. Berlin stands as Ankara’s largest trading partner, Bolat said, adding that the meeting reaffirmed their will to elevate the longstanding partnership to meet new era demands.

Ahead of Reiche’s arrival, Germany’s Economy and Energy Ministry indicated the discussions would center on the bilateral economic and energy partnership through JETCO and the Energy Forum.
