He also stated that Turkish construction companies have carried out 141 projects in the UAE to date, worth $13 billion, and that the UAE is the tenth largest external market for the Turkish construction sector.
President Erdogan noted that the UAE, in turn, has significant investments in Turkey, as well as the economies of both countries are complementary and the real potential is much greater than the current figures.
He said he will meet with prominent investors in the UAE during the visit.
He emphasised that one of the objectives of the visit was to take steps that would make progress in relations in many aspects, such as transport, technology, defence industries, health, agriculture, culture and education.
