ANKARA (AA) – President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Ankara early Thursday after a five-day visit to Africa.

Erdogan was welcomed by Ankara Gov. Ercan Topaca and city Gov. Melih Gokcek at Esenboga Airport.

The president and a delegation traveled to Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar where he signed a number of economic and trade deals.

The trip followed an earlier visit to the African continent last year where the Turkish president traveled to the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Kenya and Uganda in 2016.
