Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on business leaders in UAE to invest in his country, which is in the grips of an economic crisis. Erdogan arrived in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi for a two-day visit to revive relations marking his first trip to the Gulf country in nearly a decade. “As the leading representatives of the private sector in the UAE, I am sure you fully comprehend the benefits of establishing commercial and investment partnerships with Turkey,” he told investors at a business conference in Abu Dhabi.
“It is you, the esteemed members of our business world, who will realise the two countries’ potential, especially in trade and investments.” Erdogan’s visit comes after Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, travelled to Ankara in November on the first high-level visit to Turkey since 2012. – AFP
