Dear Readers,

In each new issue of DEİK Business Diplomacy Magazine, we are excited to share with you Türkiye’s strong stance in the global trade and investment arena, the critical role played by the business world in cross-border relations and the important developments achieved on diplomatic grounds. The opportunities and challenges of globalization make the place of the business world in international diplomacy more important than ever for countries that want to gain a strong place in the world economy.

As DEİK, we present to you in this magazine how the Turkish business world contributes to this dynamic process, how cross-border collaborations are realized and the steps taken to increase our competitiveness in world markets. The inside pages of our magazine contain very satisfying articles and interviews on our services sector and services exports. In the new issue of Business Diplomacy, we conducted our cover interview with Şekib Avdagiç, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Service Exporters’ Association.

In addition, our DEIK Business Council Presidents shared their views on service exports in areas such as education, health, logistics, IT, and tourism. Each article in our magazine contains valuable information that will help us understand the steps taken to strengthen Türkiye’s position in the global economy and increase the effectiveness of the business world in diplomatic relations. We believe that this content will inspire and guide you, our esteemed readers. You can also find many other contents from travel articles to current issues in our magazine.
