Customs and Tourism Enterprises (GTI) Co. Inc. General Assembly was held in Ankara with the participation of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu.
At
the General Assembly, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu thanked all those
who contributed to the successful efforts of GTİ.
Pointing
out that half of Turkey's foreign trade is made through land customs gates, but
due to lack of investment for years, many problems have arisen because of bad
conditions, causing additional costs, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that they took the
first step in 2005 to solve these problems suffered by their members.
Stating
that GTI Co. Inc. is the most successful example of public-private sector
partnership, TOBB President reported that it has become a best-in-practice project
globally, praised as such by the United Nations, to ‘make customs gates safe
and fast like Turkey, the way TOBB does it.’
GTİ
Co. İnc. Board President Arif Parmaksız also provided information about the
company's activities in 2018.
