  "summary": "Turkey and Qatar signed a mutual defence agreement in Istanbul on Friday, according to the office of President Tayyip Erdogan. The agreement, which is one of five deals reached between the two nations, obliges both countries to come to each other's defence. Middle East Eye reports that the pact marks the latest military agreement between Ankara and other Muslim states, noting that Erdogan stated cooperation in the defence industry will continue to grow.\n\nDuring the meeting in Istanbul with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, President Erdogan stated that the two nations would work together to establish a basis for dialogue, achieve peace, and prevent the resurgence of war in the Gulf region, Al-Monitor reports. Additionally, Doha News notes that the Turkish president observed that a Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement implemented last year has brought both countries closer to their bilateral trade targets.",
