Erdogan’s Top Economic Officials Pick UAE for First Foreign Trip

Two top Turkish economic officials are visiting the United Arab Emirates in their first trip abroad since joining President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s revamped cabinet last month, as the government looks for more foreign cash.

Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz and Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek are set to meet UAE’s President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in the capital Abu Dhabi, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as they aren’t authorized to speak publicly.
