Pakdil said at the meeting, "we want a solution to the Cyprus issue under the roof of the United Nations. We want that Greek Cypriot administration should be recalled of its responsibilities while the sanctions on the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) should be lifted." Referring to the recent developments, Pakdil said that Turkey was in favor of ensuring tranquillity in Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region of China. "We wish that Uyghur people would constitute a bridge of peace between Turkish and Chinese peoples. Turkey pursues the principle not to be involved in domestic affairs of the other countries. We wish that all countries would respect human rights," he said. On economic and commercial relations, Pakdil said that the People's Republic of China was the biggest commercial partner of Turkey. "Our current trade volume is about 17 billion USD. But there is a serious imbalance against Turkey. We hope to correct it and increase mutual investments," he said. |
