Scottish and Turkish business owners joined Scottish and Turkish Government officials, MSPs and two MPs from the Turkish Parliament to witness TSCCI President Mr Sahin Firat and SCC Chief Executive Dr Liz Cameron CBE sign a joint collaboration agreement.

The agreement marks the start of a new working arrangement between the two organisations to promote and strengthen the development of economic and trade relations and cooperation between Scotland and Turkey.

Both TSCCI and SCC have agreed to promote trade and economic cooperation, assist in the exchange of trade and business delegations, and to participate jointly in trade missions.

Dr Liz Cameron CBE, Chief Executive, SCC, said:

“The signing of this agreement gives us a real opportunity to boost trade and business between Scotland and Turkey.

“The partnership will enable more businesses to understand the benefits of the Trade Agreement signed between the United Kingdom and Turkey and open up a world of opportunities for bilateral trade.”

Mr Sahin First, President, TSCCI, said:

“This agreement marks a step-change for TSCCI in its role to represent the interests of Scottish-Turkish Business and we look forward to working closely with our colleagues at SCC.”
