Türkiye and Gabon strengthen ties with eight new cooperation agreements

Türkiye and Gabon have signed eight significant agreements in Ankara on 31 July. During an official ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Gabonese President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, joint cooperation documents between the two countries were formalised.

The agreements included a cooperation protocol between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, a pact on education and vocational training, military education and military health cooperation, as well as a cash assistance protocol.

Defence Ministers Yaşar Güler and Brigitte Onkanowa, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, along with other relevant ministers, signed three key agreements on energy, hydrocarbons, and mining cooperation between the two countries.

The partnership aims to expand collaboration particularly in renewable energy, electricity transmission and distribution, oil and gas industries, as well as exploration and exploitation of mineral resources.

Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar emphasised that the signed agreements would create new opportunities for both nations, highlighting their importance for increasing investments and developing joint projects.

This cooperation, realised within the framework of Gabonese President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema’s visit to Ankara, is regarded as a continuation of Türkiye’s policy to strengthen ties with African countries in the energy sector.
