ISTANBUL: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to pay an official visit to the United Arab Emirates in mid-July and sign a major agreement, reported Sputnik, quoting Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek.
The minister earlier visited the UAE with Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz.
Simsek said significant work had been carried out during the visit, and the results of the visit would be finalised in the next two weeks.
