Caglayan: Turkey To Invest Over 100 Bln USD In Energy In Next Decade

Turkish State Minister for foreign trade Zafer Caglayan said that Turkey would invest more than 100 billion USD in energy in the next decade.

One of the reasons Japanese officials visited Turkey was the energy sector, added Caglayan who spoke at the 18th joint meeting of Turkish-Japanese Business Council in Istanbul on Thursday.

Noting that Turkey attached importance to renewable energy, Caglayan said that energy diversity was also important, and added that a law on renewable energy would be adopted soon.

Caglayan said that the law would probably be presented to Turkish parliamentary general assembly within the next 20-25 days, and then it would be adopted.

Regarding nuclear energy, Caglayan said that Turkey had not reached an agreement with any country so far.
