UAE PRESIDENT IN TURKEY

After the bilateral talks and presiding over the first meeting of the High-Level Strategic Council, President Erdoğan and Al Nahyan signed the joint agreements between the two countries. In his speech here, President Erdoğan expressed his pleasure in hosting Al Nahyan and his delegation in Ankara on the occasion of the first meeting of the High-Level Strategic Council.

Wishing that the visit and today's consultations will be beneficial, President Erdoğan stated, "During my visit to Abu Dhabi in 2023, our strategic partnership, which we laid the foundation for with my dear brother Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, has started to bear fruit in almost every field. We have made significant progress in every area from trade to infrastructure, from defense industry to energy, and from technology to transportation."

At this stage, President Erdoğan noted that the Emirates have become Turkey's leading trade partner in the Middle East, and he added:

"Just three years ago, we were wondering if we could reach a trade volume of 10 billion dollars, and this year we hope to exceed 20 billion dollars. I believe that we will reach our medium-term target of 40 billion dollars with the determined steps of both sides. In light of this background, I just had a productive meeting with my dear brother. We thoroughly evaluated not only bilateral issues but also the steps we can take on regional matters, especially regarding Gaza, as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. With the agreements we will sign, we will take our relations further. I pray that God is our helper, and I would like to once again thank my dear brother for his contributions to our cooperation."
