Istanbul Forum showcases Türkiye’s expanding footprint across Africa

The economic partnership between Türkiye and Africa is flourishing, with trade volume soaring past $37 billion in 2024 and a bold $40 billion target set for 2025. This remarkable growth, highlighted at the recent Türkiye-Africa Business and Economic Forum in Istanbul, represents a sevenfold increase since 2003. The relationship extends far beyond simple trade, as Turkish contractors have also completed nearly $100 billion in construction projects across the continent, significantly boosting infrastructure development in the region. This deep connection is further strengthened by Turkish Airlines, which provides vital links to 62 African destinations. With thousands of business leaders from both sides meeting to collaborate on sectors from textiles to digital trade, this strategic alliance is clearly built for mutual success.
