Meeting of President von der Leyen with President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the G20
© European Union, 2025
We appreciate your personal commitment to advancing peace negotiations for Ukraine.
Türkiye is a key partner for Europe and remains essential in managing migration along the Eastern Mediterranean route.
It is crucial that we work together on our shared priorities and deepen our cooperation on border management and the fight against migrant smuggling.
We also discussed our bilateral relationship, which is moving forward since our Summit last December.
Our dialogues on trade and the economy are a case in point.
Finally, congratulations on Türkiye hosting COP next year. We support you in making this a success.
