During the meeting, the two presidents discussed concrete measures to increase goods exchange, investment, and collaboration in the energy and transportation sectors. This is seen as a strategic move to leverage the geographic advantages and economic potential of both nations.
The sides also agreed to set up coordination mechanisms to address trade barriers and facilitate business activities. The move comes as both Iran and Turkey seek to diversify their economic partners and reduce reliance on traditional markets.
