ISTANBUL
Turkey's Minister for European Union (EU) Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis on Sunday said that Turkey and Brunei were entering a period in which commercial, cultural and political relations would increase.
Speaking to reporters while leaving the hotel of Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, Bagis said that the Sultan came to Turkey for the first time.
The fact that Bolkiah devoted four days to Turkey is crucial. President Abdullah Gul and Sultan Bolkiah will visit the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul on Monday, Bagis said.
Sultan Bolkiah will hold official talks in Ankara after visiting Istanbul, Bagis noted.
