Turkey trip: Wüst ends Turkey trip with economic conference
First Ankara, now Istanbul: On the last day of his trip to Turkey, Prime Minister Wüst is setting a new focus.
North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister-President Hendrik Wüst has concluded his three-day Turkey visit by attending an economic conference in Istanbul. He also plans a city tour with 91-year-old Sabri Aydin, one of the first Turkish guest workers to arrive in Germany in 1961. The visit marks the anniversary of the 1961 agreement to recruit Turkish workers, which led to nearly 900,000 Turks moving to Germany over 12 years.
Several business agreements are set to be signed during the conference, which highlights the significant trade relationship between North Rhine-Westphalia and Turkey, valued at 10-12 billion euros annually.
