Istanbul has gathered the strength of the business communities of China and Turkey, coinciding with the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Bilateral economic and trade exchanges continue to deepen, and green and low-carbon have become highly valued cooperation tracks for both sides. Türkiye vigorously promotes its own green transformation policy. China has a complete green industry supply chain, and the two sides have broad cooperation points.
