Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said building preferential trade agreements and establishing regional cooperation blocs was critically important against trade wars and protectionism.
Speaking at a programme at MÜSİAD headquarters, Bolat said the world economy faced low growth and strong protectionist tendencies. He said external economic relations were conducted with all countries, adding that MÜSİAD EXPO had taken place with 369 firms and more than 80,000 visitors.
