Türkei: Überraschendes Treffen von Wüst und Erdogan in Ankara
Regionale Regierungschefs werden normalerweise nicht von Staatspräsidenten anderer Länder empfangen. Nun gab es während einer Türkei-Reise des NRW-Ministerpräsidenten eine Ausnahme.
Ankara – On Monday, Hendrik Wüst, the Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, made an unexpected visit to Turkey during his trip to the country, meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the latter's palace. The meeting, which was announced last-minute, was to discuss the close economic ties between North Rhine-Westphalia and Turkey, as well as current political issues.
The visit, which is considered special attention for a German Minister-President, is the first of its kind for a North Rhine-Westphalian leader. Wüst's visit coincides with the 65th anniversary of the recruitment agreement for Turkish workers in Germany, a tribute the CDU politician wishes to honor. Moreover, North Rhine-Westphalia is more closely linked to Turkey than any other federal state, with nearly a million residents in the region having Turkish roots.
