Ankara and Abu Dhabi are expected to sign a framework agreement during the Turkish president’s upcoming visit to the UAE, Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said on Monday.
“We will complete the work in the next two weeks. Our President (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) will probably pay a visit there after that. There will probably be a framework agreement on that visit,” Simsek told reporters after a Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara.
Without giving details, Simsek said the pact will be ‘pretty comprehensive. Technically, we have advanced a lot.”
He added that Erdogan will visit the UAE after a NATO summit set for next week in Lithuania.
On June 22, Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz and Simsek paid one-day working visit to the UAE to meet officials and hold a series of delegation meetings.
