Turkish talks to attract investment
19/05/2008
Turkish and African business figures have held bilateral talks at a summit entitled Turkey-Africa Foreign Trade Bridge. The event took place in Istanbul.
Business leaders from 45 African countries attended the summit and the organisers estimated that as many as 40,000 meetings on boosting two-way trade between Turkey and Africa would take place.
Reports suggest that Ethiopia in particular is keen to encourage Turkish investment in the country, with leather, along with textiles and construction materials, one of the main sectors providing hope.
