Speaking at the meeting, which began with the opening speech of AHK President Dr. Markus C. Slevogt, Zeytinoğlu emphasized the need to resolve issues such as the STA issue, transport quotas, dispute resolution that exist in the Customs Union between Turkey and the EU, and the importance of including agricultural products, e-commerce and public procurement in the scope of Turkish and EU trade relations.

Zeytinoğlu stated that the potential in relations between Turkey and the EU should be further increased, and that the modernization of the Customs Union is also of great importance in terms of supporting and promoting Turkey's compliance with the European Green Deal by the EU.

The President of the EU Delegation to Turkey, Nikolaus Meyer-Landrut, also attended the General Assembly.

The German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded in 1994 by DIHK and TOBB.

AHK Turkey has been promoting cooperation between German and Turkish companies since its inception and is supporting the development and expansion of its business activities in both countries. AHK Turkey is a chamber subject to Turkish law. It is also the only twin-chamber with “Chamber” status.
