Norway has decided to lift defense industry restrictions imposed on Türkiye, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Wednesday.
This came during a phone call between Eide and Fidan, Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Oncu Keceli said on X.
Expressing satisfaction with the decision, Fidan, during the call, said that "such restrictions were not in line with the spirit of alliance," according to Keceli.
Norway was among the countries that imposed defense industry restrictions against Türkiye in 2019 over Ankara's anti-terror operation in northern Syria.
