Germany’s Economy and Energy Minister Katherina Reiche will travel to Türkiye this week for high-level talks aimed at strengthening bilateral trade and energy cooperation, her ministry announced Monday.
“Türkiye is a strategically important partner for Germany,” ministry spokeswoman Susanne Ungrad told reporters in Berlin. “The visit on Thursday and Friday will focus on the German-Turkish economic and energy partnership,” she said.
Reiche is scheduled to attend meetings of the Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO) and the German-Turkish Energy Forum, two longstanding mechanisms for advancing bilateral cooperation. She will also hold talks with Turkish ministerial counterparts and be accompanied by a delegation of around 30 business leaders representing key economic and energy sectors.

Germany remains one of Türkiye’s largest economic partners and was its top export destination in 2025.
More than 8,000 companies with German capital are registered and active in Türkiye, helping push bilateral trade above $52 billion last year.
During German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to Ankara in October 2025, the two countries announced a joint goal of increasing annual bilateral trade to more than $60 billion in the near future.
