Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed the signing of trade deals with Algeria on Tuesday as he visited the country on the first leg of a tour of Africa. Erdogan said the agreements would allow Ankara and Algiers to diversify trade pending the signing of "an agreement on the protection of investments as soon as possible".
The Turkish president had already insisted, in an interview published in the Algerian daily Echorouk on Monday, on the need for the bilateral agreement to be finalised in order to "protect investments". "We see Algeria as an island of political and economic stability in the region. Our first trading partner in Africa is Algeria," Erdogan said on Tuesday.
