In a strong display of economic diplomacy, Turkey and Italy have reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral trade and industrial cooperation, setting a new annual trade target of $40 billion. This development comes as both nations seek to optimize trade frameworks and explore tariff-aligned strategies to foster smoother exchanges.
During a high-level intergovernmental summit in Rome, leaders and ministers from both countries highlighted shared priorities in advancing strategic sectors, including defense manufacturing and technological innovation. A recently announced joint venture in unmanned aerial systems was noted as a major step toward integrated industrial progress.
The collaborative efforts are expected to ease tariff impacts by opening doors to more localized production, shared resources, and diversified export paths—especially valuable in the context of modernizing customs arrangements and responding to evolving trade policies.
The summit also featured the signing of multiple memorandums of understanding across sectors, coupled with a business forum that brought together companies from both countries to explore new commercial opportunities and strengthen economic links.
With over $32 billion in trade achieved last year, both countries are optimistic about exceeding this figure through unified policy directions and a shared focus on trade facilitation.
