Türkei-Reise: Wüst beendet Türkei-Reise mit Wirtschaftskonferenz
Erst Ankara, jetzt Istanbul: Am letzten Tag seiner Türkei-Reise setzt Ministerpräsident Wüst einen neuen Schwerpunkt.
Istanbul - Nordrhein-Westfalen's Minister President Hendrik Wüst concluded his three-day Turkish visit with a participation in an economic conference in Istanbul. Additionally, a city tour is planned with Sabri Aydin, a 91-year-old who arrived in Germany from Turkey in 1961 as one of the first guest workers. The reunion agreement to attract Turkish labor force is the reason behind the trip.
Within twelve years, nearly 900,000 Turks and Turks came to Germany to work in factories or mining. During the economic conference, multiple company agreements are expected to be signed. The annual trade volume of the most populous federal state Nordrhein-Westfalen with Turkey is worth ten to twelve billion euros, which constitutes around 20% of the total German-Turkish trade volume.
Over 1,300 Turkish companies are actively operating in Nordrhein-Westfalen, according to the state government. Wüst had started his Turkish visit in Ankara, where he met President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, three ministers, and opposition representatives.
