Gomer, y todas sus tropas; la casa de Togarma, (Turquia) de los confines del norte, y todas sus tropas; muchos pueblos contigo. Ez.38:6

Israel, Turkey hold economic dialogue

Diplomats from Israel and Turkey held their eighth Bilateral Economic Dialogue in Jerusalem on Thursday, part of an ongoing agreement to improve bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries. Other ideas for mutual cooperation were brought up involving the health sector, agriculture, finance and customs authorities. Israel and Turkey agreed to hold the next bilateral dialogue in Ankara in 2011. The forum on mutual economic interests was one of the few positive official exchanges between Israel and Turkey since Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist faction began severing close ties with Jerusalem in the wake of the IDF’s Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last year.
