ISTANBUL - Saudi Arabia formally suspended imports of meat, eggs and other products from Turkey earlier this month, the Turkish exporters’ union said, after a months-long informal boycott of Turkish goods over political tensions between the two regional rivals.
Already strained by competing ambitions for regional influence, those relations plunged into crisis two years ago when Saudi agents killed prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. No one could be contacted at the Saudi embassy in Ankara on Friday. Turkey’s trade ministry was not available for immediate comment.
“... we expect concrete steps to solve problems in our trade and economic relations,” Pekcan was quoted as saying by Sabah newspaper. “Our counterparts told us there was no formal decision, that there were some exceptional issues.”President Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi Arabia’s King Salman agreed in a phone call last week to “keep channels of dialogue open to improve bilateral ties and overcome issues”, the Turkish presidency said.

In the meantime,they are trying to restore the relationships. I think there is a clash between King Salman and the Prince Salman whose Israel loves. Or they are trying to look to restore until clearly see the Biden's policy towards them.
