Turkey and Greece are set to foster their economic ties further, with both sides pleased at the state of their existing relationship, the prime ministers of the two countries said yesterday.
“We have increased the trade volume between the two countries by more than 100 percent in the last decade,” Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is quoted by Hurriyet as saying yesterday in Istanbul at the Turkey-Greece Business Forum, also attended by his Greek counterpart Antonis Samaras.
Samaras was on a one-day official visit to Turkey during which he met Erdoğan and President Abdullah Gül, before attending the forum.
