"Our aim is to raise our market share in other countries, and raise our exports to 500 million USD, imports to 500 million USD, and overall foreign trade volume to 1 trillion USD by 2023," Erdogan said during Business20, part of the G20 summit, in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Erdogan also mentioned that Turkey was supporting the trade and investment working group of Business-20, a part of G-20 summit, to multilaterally liberalize world trade, lift obstacles before trade and investments, and highlight importance of international investments for growth, development and employment.
Turkey was simplifying legal procedures regarding investments, and lifting administrative and bureaucratic hurdles to increase investments, Erdogan noted.
