TURKEY AIMS FOR USD 20 BLN TRADE VOLUME WITH SOUTH AMERICA
(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, FEBRUARY 3 - The Turkish Federation of
Businessmen and Industrialists (TUSKON), which opens new
horizons for Turkish investors by building "trade bridges,"
expects to reach a mutual trade volume worth $20 billion with
South American countries within the next five years.
TUSKON Chairman Rizanur Meral said on Monday that they
expected to establish a trade bridge between Turkey and South
America and were planning to hold a meeting in June in Turkey
and send delegations to the region to conduct preliminary
research in South America, meeting with businessmen and seeking
mutual trade opportunities.
"Our new target is to boost relations with countries in
South America," he said, adding that they would not slow down
and would work to expand further and enter new export markets.
He said they expected to organize trade fairs and meetings in
several countries that they select as starting points with the
aim of reaching out to surrounding markets in the region.
