Türkiye's strong diplomatic and commercial ties with the countries members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have positively reflected on recent trade figures, as exports to the region surged 35.7% on a yearly basis to surpass $826 million last month, according to a report on Wednesday.
Türkiye continues to strengthen ties with the six member states of the GCC, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, as part of its diplomatic outreach across both neighboring and distant regions.
Accordingly, exports to Gulf countries in June rose 35.7% year-over-year to $826.8 million, compared with some $609.2 million in the same month last year, a report by Anadolu Agency (AA) indicated.
The exports to the Gulf countries posted notable growth despite the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict and tensions in the wider region.
Moreover, during the January-June period, Türkiye's exports to the six Gulf countries reached approximately $4.1 billion.
