The UK and Turkey held the sixth round of negotiations on an enhanced Free Trade Agreement in London between 28 September and 2 October 2026, according to an update published by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade and Lord Sarwar on 22 October 2026. Negotiators described the discussions as constructive and productive, covering services, goods, investment, digital trade, intellectual property, government procurement and trade remedies.

The talks focused on advancing text, reviewing proposals and identifying areas of convergence. The government said the UK maintains high standards and is pursuing ambitious outcomes intended to support businesses and economic growth, and that it would only sign an agreement aligning with the UK's national interests. Total UK–Turkey trade reached £28.3 billion in 2025, an increase of 3.9% on the previous year, the update said.

Both sides said they would work constructively towards a seventh round of negotiations in the coming months. Ministers are to continue updating Parliament as discussions advance.
