(ANSAmed) - ROME, MAY 8 - Trade between Italy and Turkey is
already at a high level, currently worth over 21 billion
dollars, ''but we are convinced that these volumes can grow
still further in a substantial way''. So said Prime Minister
Mario Monti at the end of a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister
Erdogan. Monti stressed how Rome and Ankara have decided to
develop joint ventures to ''explore the ground for development''
including in third-party markets.
At today's summit, which saw a further eight Turkish
ministers alongside Erdogan, several accords were signed for
cooperation in the fight against organised crime and terrorism;
on the economy and industry, security, environmental protection
and sustainable development as well as for a scientific and
technological programme. (ANSAmed).
