These agreements included a memorandum of understanding on the development of the New Administrative Capital Industrial Park, cooperation in the railway sector, cooperation in the field of health and medical sciences, cooperation in the field of environmental protection and urban planning.

During the talks, it was emphasized that steps will be taken to increase the trade volume between the two countries to 15 billion dollars within five years.

We are moving decisively towards our goal of increasing our trade volume to 15 billion dollars in the next five years.
