Turkish president visits UAE to boost bilateral relations
The Gulfnews reported, the visit of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the UAE on Monday is set to be an important step towards strengthening bilateral relations.
It said that the trip follows the visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to Ankara in November, during which several agreements in the fields of finance, banking, shipping, energy and environment were signed.
Several landmarks and iconic Emirati buildings in the UAE will light up with Emirati and Turkish flags to celebrate Erdogan’s visit, including the Burj Khalifa.
Erdogan is also expected to visit the Turkish pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Strong ties
The value of trade between the two countries reached Dh26.4 billion in the first half of 2021, an increase of 100 per cent compared to the year-ago period.

The UAE is Turkey’s 12th largest trading partner globally, and its largest in the Gulf region.
