Meyer-Landrut

Türkiye and the European Union will hold a high-level business dialogue meeting in Istanbul this week, after nearly three-and-a-half years in a bid to underline the importance of bilateral economic cooperation and amid Brussels' warning of circumvention of the sanctions against Russia.

Turkey and the European Union (EU) are working on the elements of positive agenda which the European Council outlined previously, EU Ambassador to Turkey Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut said on Jan. 20.

The head of the European Union delegation to Turkey on Oct. 7 visited Europe's first biorefinery project with a negative carbon impact, which is located in Istanbul. 

The European Union intends to strengthen cooperation with Turkey on the issues of irregular migration and border security, the head of the EU Delegation to Turkey, has said.

The head of a EU delegation to Turkey visited the famed ancient site of Göbeklitepe on May 27. 

Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut said as part of his visit to southeastern Şanlıurfa province that he was happy to be in the cradle of humanity in Göbeklitepe - known as the world's oldest temple and listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Senior German diplomat Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut was nominated as head of EU delegation to Turkey, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell announced on June 16 in a statement.

Meyer-Landrut has been Germany's ambassador to France and Monaco since 2015.

He will replace Christian Berger, who continues his career as EU ambassador to Egypt.
