Germany and Turkey, both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), want to “approach the cooperation between the two governments with a new impetus” and “understand common priorities at an early stage”, the spokesman said of Olaf Scholz in a statement.
To this end, President Erdogan was “invited to come to Berlin for an inaugural visit,” added the German Chancellor’s spokesman, without specifying the date of the visit.
