Defence Turkey: How important is the defence and security relationship with Turkey? 

Turkey and the United Kingdom enjoy well established relations based on the NATO alliance, strategic partnership, mutual economic interests and shared security concerns. The future presents ample opportunities for further enhancement of the bilateral relations. Defence and security, large infrastructure projects like airports, health, nuclear energy and finance sectors will be at the forefront of the economic co-operation between the two countries. It is essential that we work together to help support global challenges and also the important interoperability needs of both armed forces.
