April 3, 2018, Ankara

The President of Russia arrived in Ankara on a working visit at the invitation of President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The President’s two-day working visit began with an official welcoming ceremony from the Turkish leader.

After that, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan will launch the construction of the first power unit of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant via videoconference. Akkuyu is the world's first nuclear power station project developed under the BOO (Build, Own, Operate) model (Russia is responsible for the financing, operation and management of the station).

On the same day, the two leaders will attend the seventh meeting of the High-Level Russian-Turkish Cooperation Council, which will examine the current state and prospects for the development of bilateral trade and economic cooperation, the implementation of joint strategic projects, in particular in the energy sector, and other current regional and international issues, such as the joint fight against terrorism and the situation in Syria.
