A top U.S. Treasury official to visit Turkey for talks -sources


ANKARA, June 17 (Reuters) – U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo will visit Turkey next week and hold talks with top central bank and finance ministry officials, two sources said on Friday.

One person, requesting anonymity because plans are still private, told Reuters that Adeyemo will meet both Finance Minister Nuredden Nebati and Central Bank Governor Sahap Kavcioglu.

A central bank source confirmed the meeting with Kavcioglu. The Turkish Treasury did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The U.S. Treasury and the U.S. embassy in Ankara did not immediately respond to written requests for comment.

Bloomberg agency earlier reported Adeyemo’s planned visit. (Reporting by Nevzat Devranoglu Writing by Daren Butler Editing by Jonathan Spicer)
