British Prime Minister, David Cameron, and Foreign Secretary, William Hague are visiting Turkey on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th July.

The Prime Minister is expected to meet his counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara.

On 1st July William Hague gave a speech where he signalled an intention to work more closely with Turkey.

He said, "Turkey is Europe’s biggest emerging economy and a good example of a country developing a new role and new links for itself, partly on top of and partly outside of existing structures and alliances.  It is highly active in the Western Balkans, the wider Middle East and Central Asia."

He continued, "We will make a particular diplomatic effort to work with Turkey, starting with a major visit by the Turkish Foreign Minister to Britain next week at my invitation."

Let's hope that diplomacy between the UK and Turkey is successful in strengthening ties, for the benefit of the citizens of both nations.

We don't imagine Mr Cameron will have time in his busy schedule to come back to Kalkan. Maybe another time.

Don't forget your £10 David!
