During this diplomatic engagement, both parties committed to strengthening bilateral ties in sectors such as energy, aerospace, defense, and environmental policy. A primary outcome of the meeting was the agreement to commence formal negotiations for a free trade deal before the current year concludes. President Erdoğan highlighted the objective of expanding the existing trade volume from $3 billion to $5 billion, with a long-term goal of reaching $10 billion.
