On Wednesday, Türkiye and Qatar signed two new memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in the defence sector, aimed at deepening cooperation and enhancing technology transfer, system integration, production, and capability development.

The agreements were signed during President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Qatar, with the participation of Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan bin Ali Al Thani and officials from the defence company Barzan Holding, according to Türkiye’s Defence Industries Secretary Haluk Görgün.

The first MoU with Barzan Holding, affiliated with Qatar’s Defence Ministry, outlines long-term strategic cooperation in research and development, joint production, technology transfer, and system integration.

Görgün commented: “This collaboration paves the way for a deeper integration of Türkiye’s high-tech defence solutions with partner and allied nations.”

The second agreement is intended to strengthen strategic alignment in technology transfer, system integration, production, and capability development. Görgün added: “This step reinforces the depth of our regional defence partnerships and our contribution to global security frameworks.”
