Turkey has sent 197 cargo planes, 16 trucks and one ship to Qatar since a diplomatic crisis broke out last month between the country and other Gulf states, Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said Wednesday.
Turkey will keep meeting Qatar's daily or longer-term needs in the coming period, Zeybekci said at a meeting with his Qatari counterpart Ahmed bin Jassim al-Thani in Ankara, according to local media.
Al-Thani said Doha's sea and land trade was continuing without disruption despite sanctions, adding that both countries want to boost bilateral ties.
More opportunities would likely be created for Turkish companies in their activities in Qatar, the Qatari minister added.
Ankara has been backing Qatar after several Gulf countries cut economic and diplomatic ties with the gas-rich country since early June, accusing it of supporting terrorism, which Doha has repeatedly denied.
