| Cooperation relations between the UAE and Turkey |
The President of the State and the Turkish President discuss bilateral cooperation relations by telephone
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, may God protect him, and the President of the Republic of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, discussed yesterday, during a telephone call, various areas of cooperation, especially economic and developmental ones, and ways to enhance them in a manner that supports development priorities and common interests, within the framework of the comprehensive economic partnership agreement that unites the two countries.
Both sides affirmed their mutual commitment to continuing joint efforts to strengthen UAE-Turkey relations and build upon the progress achieved in their development paths, especially their development partnerships, in order to bring growth and prosperity to their peoples.
The call also touched on the UAE’s participation in the SAHA Expo 2026 International Defence, Aerospace and Space Exhibition held in Istanbul, and the importance of the exhibition in promoting international cooperation in this field.
The United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Turkey continue their strategic trade and investment partnership by exploring further opportunities for cooperation between the two communities and friends, under the umbrella of a comprehensive and diverse economic partnership that has been in place since September 1, 2023, and has already contributed, since its implementation, to innovative interactive incentives for cooperation.
The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement boosted trade and investment growth between the two countries to record levels, enabling both parties to exceed initial expectations for non-oil bilateral trade.

Despite talk of cooperation, some still believe that relations need more depth in implementation, not just agreements and talks.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that implementation is paramount, and this is precisely what is being worked on through existing projects and partnerships between the two countries, with continuous monitoring to translate agreements into practical results that support joint development.
DeleteExpanding economic partnerships and participating in international exhibitions such as “SAHA Expo 2026” enhances opportunities for innovation and strategic cooperation between the two countries.
ReplyDeleteThere are complex regional challenges that may affect the speed at which the expected results from these economic and development partnerships are achieved.
ReplyDeleteRegional challenges exist in any international cooperation, but continuous coordination and dialogue between the two sides contribute to reducing their impact and enhancing the chances of achieving positive and stable long-term results.
DeleteThis is an important step that reflects the strength of Emirati-Turkish relations and the development of cooperation in the fields of economy and development in a way that serves the interests of both peoples.
