Turkiye aims at raising its trade volume with Venezuela to worth $3 billion in future, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently said at a joint press conference in Ankara with visitng Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro. Its trade volume with Venezuela was worth $150 million in 2019. That doubled by 2020 and rose up to $850 million in 2021, Erdogan said.

There are several areas, including trade, energy, mining, construction, health and tourism, in which both sides can increase collaboration, the Turkish president said.

As part of continuing efforts to improve bilateral ties, he said a Turkish government delegation will visit Venezuela next month, according to Turkish media reports.
