Togo-Turkey: Several agreements expected during President Erdogan’s stay

(Togo First) - Togo will receive in the middle of this week Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and according to the Togolese presidency, many agreements, in various sectors, should be signed during his stay. Erdogan started last Sunday a tour in Africa.

The foreseen deals are expected in the sectors of agriculture, trade, and defense. Ankara noted that “a deal with Togo in the sector of industry and defense will be major.”

Lomé and Ankara hope that the conventions will level up trade between Turkey and Togo. Authorities from the two countries added that over the past few years, “Togo’s economy has been growing amid political stability.”

It is worth recalling that the Togolese ministers of foreign affairs, Robert Dussey, and defense, Yark Damehane, were in Turkey last June. At the time, the officials talked with Turkish authorities, notably the minister of defense and business actors, regarding ways to boost cooperation between Togo and Turkey.

During his stay in Lomé, President Erdogan will meet with his Togolese counterpart, Faure Gnassingbé, but also visit strategic sites.
