The Turkish Embassy in the UAE was opened in 1979, following the foundation of the UAE in 1971, whereas the UAE opened its Embassy in Turkey in 1983.
The relationship between Turkey and the UAE, which started to deteriorate in the process called the Arab "Spring" (which in fact plunged the region into a dark "winter") did not improve afterward. The fact that Abu Dhabi did not even feel the need to hide its support for the July 15, 2016 coup attempt in Turkey on social media further increased the tension.
In this sense, the process that started with a phone call between the foreign ministers of the UAE and Turkey last April is progressing in a positive direction. In the UAE, gestures such as the passive appointment of politicians known for their opposition to Turkey are reflected in the press.
The fact that the commercial relations between the UAE and Turkey have not completely broken off despite the crisis period is also a basis for normalization. The two countries have an aim to double the trade volume between them, which is currently around $9 billion (TL 76 billion).
Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks Monday, UAE State media reported, as relations improve between their two countries.
The phone call between the two leaders marks the highest-level interaction in years, after a rare visit earlier this month to Ankara by a United Arab Emirates delegation.
