Turkish Cavusoglu to visit Iran next week

TEHRAN (ISNA)- Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu is scheduled to pay an official visit to Iran to discuss bilateral ties as well as regional and international developments with his Iranian counterpart.
Cavusoglu will travel to Tehran next week at the invitation of Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Turkeys Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

According to Turkeys state TV, Cavusoglu will arrive in Tehran on Wednesday, December 17, 2014.

Despite some differences on certain regional issues, Turkey and Iran have recently made efforts to enhance bilateral relations.

Tehran and Ankara signed 10 economic agreements during a visit by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the head of a high-ranking delegation to Turkey in June.

The value of trade between Iran and Turkey in the first half of 2014 stood at $6.5 billion, according to data released by Turkish Statistical Institute.

Trade between Turkey and Iran totaled $22 billion in 2012 before dipping to $14.5 billion in the following year due to the economic sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic by the West.

The two neighboring countries seek to increase their trade volume to $35 billion by 2015, Press TV reported.
