I would like to greet you all with the excitement and hap- piness of joining the DEIK family. I was looking forward to this new issue just like the regular followers of our journal. Our Business Diplomacy journal undertakes a unique mission on its own line, as well as having common points with economy and business world magazines. Each issue opens up our horizons through file subjects, original articles and interviews.

The motto of DEIK is “Business Diplomacy”… Business diplomacy, of course, covers a field of action that is quite wide. Mutual delegation visits at home and abroad, busi- ness forums, roundtable meetings, networking meetings, seminars… We are glad to witness that our journal has reached you during such an intense period. This issue of our Business Diplomacy journal, where we focus on “Study in Türkiye”, includes our cover interview with Prof. Dr. Irfan Gündüz, Chairperson of DEIK/Higher Education Business Council. Also, it covers the evaluation of many subjects such as education and artificial intelligence technologies, independent learning, and developments in healthcare education following the global pandemic process made by valuable academics and writers.

In this issue, Utku Bengisu, the Founder of Africa Trade Centres, shares his views with you, our valuable readers, in our “File” subject, where we touched upon the general view of the African market, and the “Route” article, which will be a travel guide during your visit to Finland. In addition to the subjects I mentioned, we also present many other valuable contents in our journal.

Enjoy your reading.
