“We have to further enhance our vision in economy and trade”
Speaking at the 17th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), President Erdoğan said: “We have to further enhance our vision in economy and trade, which are our organization’s main areas of cooperation. We must take steps together to increase our regional trade volume target of $100 billion to higher figures.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the 17th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), held in Khankendi, Azerbaijan under the theme of “New ECO Vision for a Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Future”.
“We have to further enhance our vision in economy and trade, which are our organization’s main areas of cooperation. We must take steps together to increase our regional trade volume target of $100 billion to higher figures. In this regard, we attach great importance to the organization of the 5th Trade Ministers' Meeting at the earliest possible convenience. I believe that the Strategic Objectives of Economic Cooperation 2035 Document, which will shape the next 10 years of our organization, will also provide a road map for us. In this process, it is inevitable that our organization will have a structure that is compatible with today's dynamics and needs. In this regard, it will be in our mutual interest to increase the effectiveness of our organization by simplifying cooperation processes, starting with the issues where we have not made progress for a long time. Likewise, this simplification should also be realized in our affiliated organizations. Our main expectation from our 2035 Vision Document, which we will shape within the framework of these issues, is to advance economic and commercial cooperation,” President Erdoğan said.
