Erdogan embarks on three-country Africa tour
Gaining influence in Africa has been a priority for Turkey in recent years, while it also tries to mend relations with rival Egypt.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is visiting several African states this week.
Erdogan arrived in Angola in southern Africa on Sunday. He will also visit Nigeria and Togo in West Africa, the official Anadolu Agency reported.
On Monday, Erdogan told reporters that he had discussed supplying Angola with drones and armored carriers.
“In the last 19 years, Turkey has taken many steps in the field of the defense industry that also struck Angola's attention,” said Erdogan.
