Fostering Türkiye-Hong Kong Ties

Murat Kolbaşi, Chairman of the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Türkiye (DEİK), together with Dinçer Tatlioğlu, Commercial Attaché at the Consulate General of the Republic of Türkiye, paid a courtesy visit on Asia & Africa Committee Vice Chairman Andrew Wells on 27 Oct to introduce the latest economic developments in Türkiye and explore cooperation opportunities with Hong Kong.

Kolbaşi said Türkiye was a manufacturing powerhouse in Europe thanks to its unique role as a bridge between Asia and Europe, its connectivity with major markets in the region, and the low Turkish Lira benefiting exports. He said investments from China in the country had increased significantly since ICBC’s acquisition of the Turkish bank Tekstilbank in 2015.

He added that geopolitical tensions had disrupted the country’s traditional supply chains and therefore part of his duties at DEİK and the Türkiye-Asia Pacific Business Councils was to explore and promote new routes and markets for Turkish trade. He added there had been a lot of interest and exciting developments in “West to East” trade between Türkiye and the Asia Pacific, especially China.
