The Turkish prime minister met the head of a telecommunication provider Ericsson in Istanbul on Thursday, the company said on Friday.

Carl-Henric Svanberg, the president and CEO of Sweden based telecommunication provider Ericsson, paid a courtesy visit to Turkey’s Premier Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, a company statement said.

Svanberg also met executives of Turkey’s telecom sector in Istanbul, and later paid a visit to Erdogan.

Ericsson has been operation for 118 years in Turkey, and made its first investment in the country by establishing a telephone line at the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul in 1890, which still works.

Ericsson, based in Stockholm, is a provider of telecommunications equipment and related services to mobile and fixed network operators globally.
