Pekcan, underlining that both sides are very keen on this issue, concluded:

"The trade volume of Japan about 750 billion dollars, it also consists of 73 billion dollars just food and agricultural imports. Turkey needs such a large market. But there are some sensitivities of both sides. We proceed the negotiations on this mindset, 'Let's protect our industries but open the path for exports at the same time'. Now our exporters from North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Caucasus to Europe and Russia, the time has come to expand. We, as the Ministry, will be behind them with all our support. We will force every door we can open to them."
