President Gul to visit Central Africa countries next month

President Abdullah Gul is preparing to tour Central Africa next month to help strengthen Turkey's political, economic and cultural ties with the continent. Gul is expected to visit either Cameroon or Ghana, in addition to the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Last year Gul paid official visits to Kenya and Tanzania, which made him the first Turkish president to pay an official visit to a sub-Saharan nation.
