Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this Monday, marking his first official visit to the Gulf country in over 10 years.
This trip aims to bring together both nations, in addition to concluding strategic agreements between Ankara and Abu Dhabi.
Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi, wrote on Twitter, “President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to the UAE comes after Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan made a visit to Turkey, which strengthened bilateral relations between both countries,” he said.
This move comes in line with the UAE’s direction towards strengthening communication and cooperation relations, aiming to guarantee stability and prosperity in the region, the Diplomatic Advisor added in the tweet.
According to the Emirati agency WAM, the volume of bilateral trade during the first half of 2021 reached over AED 26.4 billion (6.3 billion euros), with a growth rate of 100%, compared to the same period in 2020.
The UAE invested nearly 4.4 billion euros in Turkey at the end of 2020, while Turkish investments represented 312 million euros, according to the same source.
