Turkey's deputy energy minister said that he expects to hold talks with United Arab Emirates energy minister on Wednesday about opportunities for the Gulf state to invest in the Turkish energy sector. 
 
"There are so many areas (where) we can cooperate … In the past, we have been discussing many projects in power generation especially now there is renewables, new technologies are gaining a lot of momentum so I think we have a lot to talk (about," Alparslan Bayraktar said at Gastech conference in Dubai.
 
A truce between bitter regional rivals Turkey and the United Arab Emirates has calmed tensions that fuelled conflicts including Libya's war, officials and diplomats say, after years of animosity and insults.
 
But with political differences still running deep, the two countries are expected to focus on building economic ties and de-escalating, rather than resolving, an ideological rift that has drawn a faultline through the Middle East. --Reuters
