Turkiye, UAE ministers discuss cooperation in military training, defense industry
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AA): The Turkish national defense minister Hulusi Akar met his UAE counterpart Mohammed Bin Ahmad Al Bowardi in Abu Dhabi and discussed bilateral and regional issues, as well as cooperation in military training and the defense industry.
Akar’s visit is the first from a Turkish defense minister to the UAE in 15 years.
Ties between Turkiye and the Arab world are experiencing a major thaw after years of tense relations.
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s November 2021 visit led to the announcement of a $10 billion fund for investments in Turkiye. Both countries also signed several agreements on energy, environment, finance, and trade.
This February, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also visited the UAE, and the two countries inked 13 agreements in various fields.
