High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton arrived in the Turkish capital city of Ankara on a two day visit, local media reported Wednesday.
During her visit, Ashton is expected to hold talks with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Davutoglu on a broad range of issues, including bilateral relationship between the European Union and Turkey as well as a number of foreign policy issues.
Ahead of her visit, Ashton in a statement said she was looking forward to her meetings with the Turkish leadership.
"Turkey is a key partner of the EU in the region, especially when dealing with difficult foreign policy challenges like the crisis in Syria. I also believe that this year we have a chance to build momentum on Turkey's EU track," she added.
