Malaysia, Turkiye set US$10b trade target by 2030 following Zahid-Erdogan discussions

Malaysia and Turkey have set a target to increase their bilateral trade to US$10 billion by 2030, following discussions between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The two countries agreed to this target after the establishment of the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC), which held its inaugural meeting in Ankara last January.

During their meeting, the leaders also touched on various topics, including Turkey's role as the 12th Asean Sectoral Dialogue Partner and Malaysia's commitment to expanding strategic cooperation between both parties. Additionally, the discussion covered developments in diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between the United States and Iran, with Turkey playing a significant role in this process alongside other countries.
