Turkey and the United Arab Emirates today signed 13 bilateral agreements worth $50.7 billion during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Abu Dhabi, according to a statement issued by the Turkish presidency.

The president of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, welcomed his Turkish counterpart in Abu Dhabi, speaking of a visit that gives a “strong impetus” to the strategic choice of the two countries to strengthen bilateral relations “to the fullest”.
Erdogan presented Sheikh Al Nahyan with a Turkish-made Togg electric car.
After years of strained relations, Turkey and the UAE have rewarmed ties and last March signed a free trade agreement aimed at increasing trade to $40 billion within five years.
The United Arab Emirates was the last stop on Erdogan’s three-day tour of Gulf countries, after Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in a bid by the Turkish president to secure investment to boost his country’s economy, which has been plagued by soaring inflation.
