Turkish Consul General Tolga Ucak has announced that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Pakistan next month. "President Erdogan will formally make investment-related announcement during the visit," he said this at B2B meetings between Turkish and Pakistani businessmen at a hotel where Turkish Electrical Electronics and Services Exporters' Association (TET) delegation represented Turkey.
The consul general further said that Turkey had an unbreakable bond with Pakistan, which would only grow stronger with the passage of time. He said Turkey favoured a balance trade with Pakistan.
"Turkey will extend all out cooperation in the defence sector and play its due role in promotion of technology and trade with its brotherly state of Pakistan," he said, adding that Turkish government was very much interested in projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He said that Turkish authorities were already in talks with Pakistan for participation in these projects.
Tolga Ucak said that total trade turnover of Turkey was $200 billion and balanced trade between the two countries would largely benefit Pakistan and increase its exports.
He said the B2B event organised by Ecommerce Gateway would provide Pakistan's Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) an opportunity to explore business opportunities with their Turkish counterparts. "We wish that Pakistan's SME sector should grow, which is the prime employment generator in any economy," he said.
