Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday arrived in Istanbul as part of a European tour to rally support for Ukraine's entry into NATO after the war with Russia comes to an end.
The visit came ahead of the alliance's two-day summit in Vilnius next week.
Talks with Erdogan were expected to focus on a grain deal which Turkey helped broker with the UN last year and allowed the shipment of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea.
The deal, which helped temper rising global food prices, is set to expire on July 17.
Russia has been reluctant to extend the deal, citing obstacles to its export of food and fertilizers.
NATO member Turkey has maintained close ties with both Ukraine and Russia, using its relations with both countries to act as a mediator.
