Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and EU Commissioner Varhelyi made statements at the joint press conference.

Minister Fidan: Paving the way for Turkey's EU membership process is essential to revitalise our relations on the basis of the membership perspective. Progress in the visa liberalisation process is also among our expectations. We also reiterated our need for cooperation in the fight against irregular migration on the basis of fair burden sharing.

EU Commissioner Varhelyi: With the new government in Ankara, I think we can move forward with EU-Turkey relations.
