A trade and investment summit, forming part of the agreement, is set to take place in Tokyo, as announced by the Turkish trade minister.
On Tuesday, Turkey and Japan officially signed a cooperation agreement with the aim of promoting trade, investment, and economic partnership. The signing ceremony, involving the trade ministers of both countries, was held in Istanbul and included provisions for hosting a trade and investment summit, expediting economic collaboration, and expanding cooperative efforts in third countries.
Omer Bolat, the Turkish trade minister, revealed plans for the upcoming trade and investment summit to be organized in Tokyo.
Prior to the signing ceremony, Bolat engaged in discussions with Yasutoshi Nishimura, the Japanese minister of economy, trade, and industry, addressing various aspects of economic relations between their nations.
