President Erdoğan: Turkey’s export capacity is its trump card to feature among the world’s top 10 economies
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a speech at the 28th Ordinary General Assembly of Turkish Exporters Assembly and Export Champions Award Ceremony in Istanbul.
Describing Turkey’s success in exports, embodied by the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TIM), as a symbol of the rising power, increasing prestige and expanding influence of the Turkish economy, President Erdoğan said: “Indeed, the maxim, ‘strong infrastructure, strong human resources, strong exports, strong economy, strong Turkey,’ which you refer to as 5-S, epitomizes our goals for 2023. Shortening it even further, we sum up these goals and more of them as ‘great and strong Turkey’.”
Underlining that Turkey’s success in exports has become a source of national motivation for the country, President Erdoğan pointed to Turkey’s success in exports as a primary indicator of its commitment to its goals as well as of its determination to make use of opportunities and face up to challenges.
“Turkey’s export capacity is its trump card to feature among the top 10 economies of the world by constantly increasing its investments and production, raising its quality and technology and expanding its spectrum. That is why we aim to boost the number of our exports first to 150 thousand and then to 300 thousand,” President Erdoğan said.
“WE ARE DETERMINED TO DO OUR PART IN ORDER TO TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE NEW GLOBAL ORDER”
“As I will state in my upcoming address to the United Nations General Assembly in the USA next Tuesday, we are determined to do our part in order to take our rightful place in the new global order in the period ahead,” the President further stressed, adding that the administrative capacity to achieve this goal was provided for by the Presidential System of Government. “I wholeheartedly believe that our business community is capable of quickly responding to the new demands and trends of the global economy. Our exporters will serve as the engine of this new era, too. Together, we will make sure that Turkey attains its goals for 2023 and likewise, I have no doubt that you will be one of the main pillars of Turkey’s visions for 2053 and 2071.”
