Türkiye is seeking to cooperate and learn from China’s expertise on electric vehicles (EVs) and battery technologies, a move that will broaden the economic cooperation between the two nations, experts said.
Turkish Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacir, accompanied by business representatives, held meetings with Chinese officials and visited eight Chinese cities during a visit to China in December 2023.
Kacir engaged with prominent automotive and battery manufacturing companies, including GAC AION, Chery, Zeekr, BYD, SAIC, Fararis and Huawei.
He highlighted China’s role as a pioneer in transforming the automotive industry and said he was particularly impressed by China’s growing technology in EVs and touted China as a role model in this field for his country.
“Chinese automotive companies have surpassed the world in innovative technologies, enabling them to export electric vehicles to global markets,” the Turkish minister told the semi-official Anadolu Agency.
Kacir pointed out that China has heavily invested in high technology and become one of the world’s leaders in advanced technologies. — Xinhua.
