Turkey’s Erdogan to Meet UK’s Prince Edward as Ties Develop

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will host the UK’s Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, later this month as the two countries discuss ways to develop defense and trade relations, according to people familiar with the matter.

Turkey and the UK have been working to boost ties since Brexit and the rare meeting with a member of the British royal family comes on the heels of a visit by UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly.
