Our colleagues are happy to help you!

To this end we closely follow Türkiye’s EU and foreign policy, as well as domestic political and social developments. We maintain relations with the Turkish government, political organisations and civil society, articulating the Dutch perspective.

We ensure that all relevant information on policy and opportunities for collaboration lands on the right desks. We also bring together relevant actors who can play a role in deepening the bilateral relationship, for example via projects and events. We provide substantive and logistical support for visits by ministers, elected representatives and high-level official delegations.
