UK embarks on post-Brexit trade talks with Turkey

Talks offer ‘huge opportunities’ but come at a delicate time after Ankara held up Sweden’s accession to Nato

The UK and Turkey have started talks about a post-Brexit free trade agreement targeting the service sector of the economy.

The UK government said there were “huge opportunities” for British businesses in exporting to Turkey, as one of the fastest-growing economies in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development group of nations, with trade between the two countries worth £26bn in 2022.
