The summit is marked by growing relations between the two regions. The Ivorian businessman Lilli Firmin Tre relies on Turkey as a trading partner – for a simple reason: “I chose Turkey because of the quality of its products”. He is the head of a real estate company in the Republic of Ivory Coast and has long had close relationships with the Bosporus. The strength of Turkey is the majority of its own production facilities, emphasizes Tre. Other European countries have more Asian goods on offer. “There is a lot to learn in the construction industry, the Turks have extensive specialist knowledge. They are good at workmanship, interior design, the colors are right and they have good building materials,” praised the entrepreneur. The best: “They offer European quality at Asian prices.”
