“We will continue to strengthen our defense industry cooperation with Italy”
Speaking at a joint press conference with President Meloni of the Council of Ministers of Italy, President Erdoğan said: “We will continue to strengthen our defense industry cooperation, which has covered significant distance, with Italy through new partnerships and projects.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President Giorgia Meloni of the Council of Ministers of Italy held a joint press conference following the 4th Türkiye-Italy Intergovernmental Summit in Rome.
President Erdoğan said: “Turkish firms have significantly contributed to the two countries’ spirit of partnership, making important investments in Italy in such areas as defense industry, aviation, white goods and glass production in recent years. In light of these developments, we have set our new trade volume as 40 billion dollars during today’s summit. I believe that we will achieve that goal soon. As we continue our consultations here our business people will come together at the Business Forum which I will be attending presently with Ms Meloni. I believe that the Forum will lay the groundwork for increasing of mutual trade and investments. We will follow up the decisions we have taken today during the third term meeting of the Türkiye-Italy Joint Economic and Trade Committee. We will continue to strengthen our defense industry cooperation, which has covered significant distance, with Italy through new partnerships and projects.”
