Shafaq News / On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an announced that Turkey is working on establishing a railway and port corridor that would connect it to Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through Iraq.

He made this announcement during his speech at the 18th summit of the Group of Twenty (G20) leaders, currently taking place in the Indian capital, New Delhi.
