ISTANBUL, Nov 12 (KUNA) -- Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will discuss bilateral relations and regional affairs, namely Syria, Iraq and the Gulf, during upcoming talks with His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah in Kuwait, his spokesman said on Sunday.
The talks, scheduled on Tuesday, will focus on "boosting cooperation in the fields of contracting, investments, tourism, industry, military, defence and education," Ibrahim Kalin said in a statement.
Afterwards, the Turkish leader will travel to Doha where he will attend a third round of bilateral strategic talks with Qatar.
In both Kuwait and Qatar, Erdogan's discussions will explore viewpoints on bilateral relations and regional affairs, including Syria, Iraq and the Gulf region, Kalin added.
Meanwhile, Erdogan will meet President Vladimir Putin in the Russian city of Sochi tomorrow.
Along with regional and international developments, mainly Syria, both leaders will discuss increasing bilateral trade to USD 100 billion.
Ankara also plans to convince Moscow to remove trade restrictions and return mutual travel visa exemption for their nationals.
After Turkey shot down a Russian military jet that entered its airspace, Moscow had placed an embargo on some Turkish goods and annulled its exemption of visas for Turkish visitors. (end)
