Top Turkish and US officials on Saturday discussed bilateral relations and regional issues in Istanbul.

In a meeting held at the Dolmabahce Office, Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin and US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman discussed the agenda of the upcoming NATO summit on June 14.

They also exchanged views on the issues Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his American counterpart Joe Biden are expected to discuss on the sidelines of the summit in Brussels.
