"We also discussed the global agenda. We reaffirmed our intention to raise bilateral trade to $15 billion."Reaching that target requires implementing a 67-point action plan adopted April 15 at the 14th meeting of the intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation in Astana."We will continue supporting companies in their investment efforts," Erdogan said. "I believe events like today's business forum, which brings together the business communities of both countries, are very important for deepening our trade and economic ties." (ICE ALMATY)
