New Perspectives in Austrian-Turkish Relations: Schallenberg in Ankara
Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg is visiting the Turkish capital Ankara for two days to hold important talks with Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The reason for the visit is the Austrian-Turkish anniversary year 2024, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the friendship treaty and the 60th year of the recruitment agreement between the two countries.

These celebrations underline the historical ties and the valuable contribution of the Turkish community to Austrian society and the economy. The meeting is the third between Schallenberg and Fidan within a year, which indicates a significant improvement in bilateral relations. This positive development was initiated by Chancellor Nehammer's visit in October 2023.
