Erdoan will meet his Croatian counterpart President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic during the visit which will focus on improving bilateral trade and investment between the two countries. Turkey aims at growing the current volume trade with Croatia which is $387 million to $1 billion in the forthcoming years.
