Turkey-Colombia trade doubles in 2021
Turkey has also sought good relations with Venezuela in South America.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu discussed trade with his Colombian counterpart Marta Lucia Ramirez in Ankara today.
Cavusoglu said that bilateral trade between Turkey and Colombia increased 100% from $1 billion to $2 billion in 2021, the official Anadolu Agency reported.
"We have the potential to boost it (trade volume) to $5 billion,” said Cavusoglu.
Turkey and Colombia opened their respective embassies in 2010 and 2011. The two countries held free trade agreement negotiations from 2011 until 2012 but appear to have not yet reached a deal.
