Turkey seeks closer link to Emirates

Turkey and the UAE will develop closer economic ties and increase cross-border investment despite the financial crisis and lingering disputes over US$80 million (Dh293.8m) in unpaid contracting bills, a prominent Turkish businessman says.

Direct investments from the Gulf into Turkey accounted for only 2 per cent of overall foreign investment in the country, said Korhan Kurdoglu, the chairman of the Turkish-UAE Business Council.

And Mr Kurdoglu said only between 1 and 2 per cent of the GCC’s total foreign investment went to Turkey, a state of affairs he expected would improve.
