Romanadze: “We see you as our friends”

Expressing his satisfaction for being in Samsun, Georgian Adjara Autonomous Republic Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Giorgi Romanadze said, “There are very good relations between Turkey and Georgia from the past. As CCI, we must contribute even more to these beautiful relations. Our aim is to bring together business people between the two countries and make their business easier. Thanks to our free trade agreements, we can export products to European Union countries and many other countries tax-free. You can bring raw products or semi-finished products from Turkey, process them in Georgia, and export from there to many countries without paying customs duty. We want more Turkish industrialists to benefit from this advantage. Because we do not accept you as foreigners. We accept you as friends. "We are ready to provide all kinds of support to increase mutual trade between the two countries," he said.

Murzioğlu: “We have a bridge between our hearts”

Samsun CCI Chairman Salih Zeki Murzioğlu thanked his guests for their visit and gave information about Samsun's economy, industry and export potential as well as its prominent sectors. Introducing Samsun to his guests as the largest province and shining star of the Black Sea,  Murzioğlu said, “Samsun is a rising city with a wide range of economic activities, both with its strategic location and its infrastructure for the production of goods and services. From Samsun, where a wide range of production takes place, exports of 1 billion 317 million dollars were made to 176 countries of the world and 6 free zones in 86 chapters in 2022. I believe that this meeting will provide a great benefit to the development of commercial relations between the two countries. There is a bridge between our hearts. We are like flesh and nails. We believe that our trade volume will rise to higher levels as a result of these negotiations. "As the chamber, we are ready to do our best to improve our commercial cooperation," he said. The visit ended after the commemorative presentation.
