Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman İbrahim Burkay and Assembly Speaker Ali Uğur visited the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu at his office with their delegation.
At the reception, TOBB
President Hisarcıklıoğlu wished success for the new term efforts and conveyed
his good wishes.
In his statement after
the visit, İbrahim Burkay made the following remarks: “In a sense October and
November are a period in which the business world in Türkiye received the
results of 4 past terms. We have elections in 365 chamber exchanges. As Bursa
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we held our elections in the first week of
October. In this new term, our 4-year mission started with the support of Bursa
business world. In the name of Bursa business world and the development of the
Turkish economy, Allah willing, we aim to do many good works in 4 years. As in
the previous periods, we will implement many projects that will take us forward
that will significantly strengthen both the Bursa economy and the Turkish
economy. In this process, we will work with the Union of Chambers and Commodity
Exchanges of Türkiye, which is the umbrella organization of Bursa Chamber of
Commerce and Industry as well as 365 chamber exchanges, as before, with very
intense cooperation from now on. We will manage all the demands of the Turkish
business world together with our esteemed President Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and
the relevant Ministries. In this sense, especially in the last 4 years, as you
know, we have experienced a pandemic. In this period, not only the business
world of Bursa, but also the business world of Türkiye and the world economy underwent
a very serious test. In this, our Turkish business chambers, commodity
exchanges and TOBB Presidency board members proved greatly successful. The most
important factor in the Turkish business world coming out of the pandemic with
the least damage was the time spent by our chambers, commodity exchanges and
the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye President Mr.
Hisarcıklıoğlu. I would like to express my gratitude to all our chambers and
commodity exchanges, our management, our assembly, our committees and our
valuable colleagues, each of whom is an important representative of the
district of the province where they are in their sectors and professions. I
wish the new term to be auspicious for both us and all chambers and commodity
exchanges in Türkiye. After the elections are completed in the 365-chambers and
commodity exchanges, Allah willing, there will be a general assembly of the
Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye and there will be an
election. I hope that the Turkish business world has indeed shown this unity
everywhere with our Rifat President so far. After that, I hope they will show
it in May. As our President said, we are entering the Turkish century. In the
Century of Türkiye, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye
and our 365 chambers and commodity exchanges will fulfill their responsibilities
more than enough.”
