Turkish premier attends Turkey-Russia Business Forum
MOSCOW (A.A) - 15.03.2011 - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that economic, political, military and cultural relations had been further improving between Turkey and Russia.
Prime Minister Erdogan attended the Turkey-Russia Business Forum as part of his official visit to Moscow.
He recalled that they decided to establish a high-level cooperation council during Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev's visit to Turkey in May 2010, adding, "today, we are in Moscow to attend the second meeting of the council. Economic, political, military and cultural relations have been further improving between our countries. The council has added a new dimension to our multi-dimensional relations with Russia."
"Turkey-Russia Joint Economic Committee held its 11th meeting in Kazan on March 2 and 4, 2011. During the meeting, many important decisions were made about energy, agriculture, trade and transportation. We agreed to develop our cooperation in automotive industry, chemistry, ship building, health industry and aviation industry. Another decision made at the meeting was to establish a working group to develop cooperation in banking and finance." he said.
Referring to economic and commercial relations, Prime Minister Erdogan said, "our trade volume exceeded $26 billion in 2010. We want to increase our trade volume up to $100 billion in the next five years. Turkish construction firms have already undertaken nearly 1,200 projects in Russia worth of $32 billion."
"Despite global financial crisis, Turkey hosted 3 million Russian tourists in 2008, 2.7 million in 2009 and 3.1 million in 2010. I believe number of Russian tourists visiting Turkey will increase in 2011. We invite Russian people to benefit from Turkey's opportunities in tourism," he said.
"Energy is the most important dimension of our economic and commercial relations. Energy investments worth of $100 billion will be made in Turkey in the next two decades. I think that such an environment will create new cooperation opportunities between our countries. As you know, we are about to begin construction of a nuclear power plant in cooperation with Russia. It will cost about $20 billion. We also attach great importance to establish a big Turkish logistic center in southern Russia," he added.
