Turkish, US commerce chambers sign partnership to boost economic ties

The Turkish American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TACCI) and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce (BCC) have signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen economic relations between Türkiye and the U.S. and explore new business opportunities.

An event, organized by TACCI and BCC, was held at the Turkish House in New York on Friday, bringing together representatives from various chambers of commerce, trade attaches, bureaucrats and businesspeople.

The gathering provided participants with a platform to exchange insights with professionals from the public and private sectors, culminating in the signing of the cooperation agreement between TACCI and BCC.

‘Collaboration to expand business opportunities’

Speaking at the event, TACCI President Ali Kocak emphasized the chamber has been assisting Turkish businesses and delegations in exploring business opportunities in the U.S. since its establishment in 2002.

Highlighting their efforts to encourage American businesses to invest in Türkiye and discover available opportunities, Kocak said, “We aim to help further expand business opportunities between the two countries.”

Kocak noted that last year, TACCI organized several events to strengthen bilateral relations and promote economic growth. He also recalled the chamber’s efforts to establish international partnerships and evaluate business opportunities for trade chambers from New York, New Jersey, South Korea, and Azerbaijan.

BCC President Randy Peers expressed his satisfaction with the cooperation, underscoring the significance of the agreement in fostering commercial ties between the two chambers and the two countries.
