ANKARA (AA) - Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday that a meeting with US President Joe Biden during a NATO summit next month will mark the beginning of a new era.

"We care about our long-standing, rooted and multidimensional alliance with the US. Although there are differences of ideas from time to time, our partnership and alliance have managed to overcome all kinds of predicaments," Erdogan said in a video conference.

"From Syria to Libya, and from fighting against terrorism to energy, and from trade to investments, we have a serious potential of cooperation with the US," he added.

Erdogan emphasized that Turkey and the US should bring mechanisms of economic strategy and partnership to life, adding he is aiming for a $100 billion trade volume between the two countries.
