Skopje eyes more Turkey cooperation

ISTANBUL - Anatolia News Agency

Today the world faces economic, political and security problems and the only possibility to increase global competition is with international economic cooperation, said Gjorge Ivanov, president of the Republic of Macedonia, in his speech during the Istanbul Business Forum.

Ivanov stressed that he is happy to see traditional and good relations of Turkey and Macedonia improving in this regard.

“Still I do not think the economic cooperation between the two countries is at the required level. Both the Republic of Macedonia and Turkey should show extra efforts to utilize the current capacity,” he said.

According to Ivanov, the private sector and entrepreneurial spirit in particular, is a pioneering power in today’s globalized world.

Ivanov said his country attended the International Business Forum in Istanbul because of the good relations between Turkey and Macedonia and TOBB’s positioning in the country’s economic development.
