President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s recent visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stimulated Turkey's exports to the Gulf country.
This is with foreign sales data for February reflecting the warming ties between the countries.
Consequently, Turkey's exports to the UAE increased by 52.4% last month compared to the month before, according to an Anadolu Agency (AA) report on Tuesday.
In the report, it cited that exports to the UAE in February reached $303.24 million, increasing by 29.1% compared to the same period of the previous year.
The UAE also rose to 17th place in terms of Turkey's top export markets in February.
The visit of Erdogan was dubbed an important step in strengthening political and economic relations between the two countries.
The Daily Sabah reports that the two countries have seen their ties affected by regional tensions, including the conflict in Libya, where the UAE and Turkey have backed opposing sides in recent years.
Last year, Turkey accused the UAE of bringing chaos to the Middle East through its interventions in Libya and Yemen, while the UAE and several other countries criticized Turkey’s military actions.
