Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Wednesday pledged to increase trade volume with Chad by 40 percent from the current $60 million to $100 million, as part of plans to bolster ties between the two countries. President Erdogan made the statement on receiving visiting Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno in Ankara, state-run news agency Anadolu reports. “Our trade volume is now around $60 million. This shows how low the trade volume is. We are now committed to increase this trade volume to $100 million,” Erdogan said.
