Turkey, Britain agreed to speed up fighter jet project - Turkish minister

ANKARA, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Turkey and Britain have agreed to
speed up work on a project to build fighter jets, Foreign
Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told broadcaster A Haber on Wednesday.

The two countries agreed a 100 million pound ($133 million)
deal in 2017 to develop Turkish fighter jets, and Turkey's Kale
Group said it was setting up a joint venture with Rolls-Royce
to work on the project. In March Rolls-Royce said it had
scaled back efforts to join the programme.
