Turkish mission to arrive

JAKARTA (JP): An official Turkish delegation made up of 50 leading businesspeople will begin a four-day Indonesian tour today to promote trade relations.

Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey Sevinc Dalyanoglu said yesterday that his country, which had sustained an average 5 percent growth rate for more than a decade, had abolished many trade and foreign exchange restrictions to boost trade.

To coincide with the visit, a seminar on Turkey's economy, joint investment and cooperation opportunities will be held at the Sahid Jaya Hotel in Jakarta from Nov. 20 to Nov. 21.

It will be followed by an opportunity for participants to make business contacts with their Turkish counterparts. (08)
