Erdal Bahçıvan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of İstanbul Chamber of Industry, visited the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu at his office with the accompanying delegation.
At the reception, TOBB
President Hisarcıklıoğlu wished success for the new term efforts and conveyed
his good wishes.
Erdal Bahçıvan, in his
statement after the visit, gave the following opinions: “The most exemplary
institutions in terms of experiencing the election process of 365 chambers in
Türkiye. İstanbul Chamber of Industry, as the oldest and largest chamber of
industry in Türkiye, has successfully undergone a very civilized and inclusive
election process in this process. Our council, which was elected after the
elections held in a peaceful atmosphere with a wide participation in our 55
professional committees, deemed the task worthy of me and our board of
directors. We hope that in the next 4 years, we will continue our duties in
constant contact and consultation with the Union of Chambers for our economy,
industry, our country and İstanbul, in unity.I wish all elected boards of directors and
assemblies good luck. All our industrialists, traders and commodity exchange
members elected this semester will perform the duty for the 100th
year of our Republic. This is also very meaningful and valuable. I hope that we
will complete this period suitably.
We came to visit Mr.
Hisarcıklıoğlu. This is our highest board for us. The Union of Chambers and
Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye is the place where Türkiye's 365 chambers take
their route and to which they are legally and wholeheartedly attached.
President Rifat is a President with whom we have been working for many years
and who has given us strength with his guidance and leadership that is always
in the Turkish business world. Especially during the pandemic, we finished a
period of duty with a thousand and one difficulties. It was a very useful conversation
both to introduce our new management and to get their thoughts about the
future.The election process in
the chambers is a period that starts from the floor and lasts until the
ceiling. I hope that in the same peace and understanding, we will do our duty
in May and determine the new term for the 100th year of our Republic
in 2023 in the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye. I hope
that we will crown this with a stable and peaceful administration. I believe
that all our delegates will find the right thing with common sense.”
