Turkey hasn't much big relations to talk about with some nations such as South Africa, India, Japan, UK, Brazil. But it'd be our benefit to strengt the relations.
India, Turkey open ‘exciting chapter' in relations
Drawing up an action plan which aims to boost cooperation in a good number of fields for the years 2014-2016,
Turkey and India are set to deepen ties in a meaningful and exciting way.
Appearing enthusiastic about the prospects, the minister [Khurshid] told
Today's Zaman on Wednesday that “hopefully, not only will this be a new chapter but an exciting one as well.” After meeting with his counterpart, Ahmet Davutoğlu, in Ankara on Wednesday, Khurshid met with President Abdullah Gül and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in İstanbul on Thursday before leaving Turkey.
During the top Indian diplomat's three-day visit, Turkey and India agreed to draw up an action plan for the years 2014-2016 to boost cooperation in various fields ranging from trade, investments, defense, science and technology, education, culture and sports. The action plan does not only recommend that communication be enhanced at the official level but also between people.
The details of the action plan, which is a road-map for strengthening ties, need to be completed soon because Indian President Shri Pranab Mukherjee will also be visiting Turkey in a few months time, Khurshid commented.
Noting that India and Turkey had close ties during their respective independence movements but the intensity of relations somewhat waned in the period thereafter, the minister said, “The time has come for India and Turkey to see much more of each other, consult [each other] a great deal more.” “We have to make up for lost time,” he added.
The two countries also hope to boost cooperation in multilateral organizations while making efforts to increase consensus in viewpoints on international and regional issues.
