The steady trade volume between Turkey and Moldova despite the coronavirus pandemic is an indication of bigger potential, said Turkey’s foreign minister on Wednesday.
“TURKEY IS THE SEVENTH LARGEST TRADE PARTNER OF MOLDOVA”
Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu’s remarks came at a joint news conference with his Moldovan counterpart Oleg Tulea in the capital Chisinau. He said the two sides discussed bilateral relations, trade, and investment during a meeting held earlier.
Turkey is the first choice of Moldovan tourists, Çavuşoğlu added.
For his part, Tulea thanked Turkey for the aid and welcomed the opening of the Turkish consulate in Gagauzia, an autonomous region of Moldova. “Opening of the consulate in this region will be instrumental in intensifying our economic, political and cultural cooperation,” he added.
Turkey is the seventh largest trade partner of Moldova, he said.
