UAE President to begin state visit to Turkey on Wednesday

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will begin a state visit to Turkey on Wednesday.

During the visit, he will hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on boosting cooperation aligned with both nations’ development priorities.

The discussions will also cover a range of regional and international issues of mutual interest, national news agency Wam reported.

The two leaders last met on the sidelines of the World Governments Summit in February 2024, where Turkey was the guest of honour.

Talks at that time focused on strengthening bilateral relations and advancing the countries' wide-ranging economic partnership. The presidents also discussed international efforts to halt hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
