DEIK, the window to the world for the Turkish economy, has Türkiye ekonomisinin dünyaya açılan penceresi DEIK, 40 been the driving force of business diplomacy for 40 years. From a journalist’s perspective, DEIK’s greatest achievement has been shaping the “language” and “stance” of the Turkish private sector in the global system. It has created a platform where not only intergovernmental agreements are made, but also where businesspeople stand shoulder to shoulder and build trust. It has maintained dialogue even during times of crisis and provided access to new markets. From Africa to Asia, Latin America to Europe, it has become a partner to Turkish companies and a trusted counterpart to the local business world. DEIK has transformed diplomacy from merely a state policy into concrete interests and collaborations for the business world. These 40 years are proof of Türkiye’s determination to open up its economy. Godspeed you.
