The Republic of Moldova aims to double its trade exchanges with Turkey in the next 3-4 years, by attracting investments, developing new production capacities, and creating jobs. The statement was made by Prime Minister Vasile Tofan after a series of meetings in Istanbul with representatives of companies and investment groups, reports IPN.
The discussions were attended by representatives of Fiba Group, CoreX, Franklin Templeton, Esas Holding, as well as the textile companies Yeşim, Evkon and Asena. According to the Prime Minister, the latter already provide approximately 1,500 jobs in the Republic of Moldova, including in UTA Găgăuzia.
The meetings were hosted by Summa Group, a company also present on the market in the Republic of Moldova in various fields, from construction to energy, health, and tourism.
The Prime Minister also discussed with the management team of Bilişim Vadisi, a technology park in Turkey that brings together over 800 companies. According to Tofan, their experience could provide ideas for the development of HiTech Park in Stăuceni, one of the projects that the authorities consider important for the development of a technology-based economy.
“Moldova is open for business,” the Prime Minister conveyed to Turkish businessmen, urging them to produce in the Republic of Moldova and to capitalize on access to the European Union market.
Vasile Tofan mentioned that the authorities desire investments in energy, technology, and production for export with high added value.
Trade exchanges between the Republic of Moldova and Turkey currently exceed one billion euros.
