Türkiye and Georgia will continue to work "shoulder to shoulder" for regional cooperation, peace, and development, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday at a joint press conference with his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Kavelashvili.
Erdogan stressed the strategic importance of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway, calling it “the backbone of the Middle Corridor,” and noted its significance as it begins operating at full capacity.
Erdogan stressed that the bilateral trade volume has surpassed $3 billion in recent years, adding: “We are steadily moving toward our new goal of $5 billion.”
President Erdogan also expressed hope that their strategic partnership would deepen further with public backing.
