Japan Envies Growth Rate Of Turkey
Anadolu Agency:ﾊ12/19/2003
TOKYO - Japanese Foreign Minister Yoriko Kawaguchi said on Friday that Japan envied the growth rate of Turkey which was 8 percent last year and which was expected to exceed 5 percent this year.
Responding to questions of A.A, Kawaguchi said that Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul told him that the Turkish economy had an excellent growth.
Noting that Japan regarded very important Turkey's undertaking economic reforms in a way to become member of the European Union in the future, Kawaguchi said that Japan believed that new regulations in Turkey which would facilitate foreign capital investment would be very beneficial. Turkey's giving detailed information about the issue to Japan, and Japanese companies' being aware of this would encourage them to invest in Turkey, he said.
When asked why the good political and cultural relations between the two countries could not be reflected sufficiently to the economic field, Kawaguchi said that the geographical distance between the two countries was a disadvantage.
Kawaguchi stressed that it was more difficult for Japanese businessmen to have detailed information about Turkey when compared to China, Korea and other Asian countries.
Noting that it was the task of the Japanese government to provide accurate information about Turkey to Japanese businessmen, Kawaguchi said that the businessmen would give their decision themselves. Certainly Japanese businessmen took into consideration the situation in other countries, there were many alternatives for them and they had to take all these alternatives into consideration. All countries were in competition with each other to draw foreign capital, he said adding that Japan also tried to draw more foreign capital.
Kawaguchi said that the exhibition of ''Three Big Empires in Turkey'' was very much liked in Japan, adding that many Japanese tourists including him went to Turkey. He stressed that the interest of Japanese people in Turkey should be directed to business field, too.
When reminded that Japan allocated 5 billion dollars to development of Iraq and when asked if there was cooperation possibility with Turkey in that regard, Kawaguchi said that ''I think so. We discussed the issue with your foreign minister. Turkey knows the region, it has experience in Iraq and there are Turkish people who speak the language of Iraqi people. We also had experience in Iraq. Iraq had very close relations with Japan before 1990. We can discuss what we can do together in Iraq.''
Kawaguchi stressed that Japan could work together with Turkish NGOs regarding the donations they gave for development of Iraq including fields of health and education.
Asked if Japanese Foreign Ministry would change travel recommendation it issued for Japanese citizens after terrorist attacks in Istanbul, Kawaguchi said that information they received after those attacks pointed out that Japan could be a target of similar attacks.
Kawaguchi noted that they called on Japanese people to once more think about their travel to Istanbul in the travel recommendation they issued after Istanbul's blasts.
They asked their citizens to be careful if they were travelling to other cities of Turkey, Kawaguchi stated.
Kawaguchi said that the Japanese Foreign Ministry was not telling their citizens not to go to Turkey but they were making a recommendation and leaving the decision to the Japanese citizens.
He told Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul that they were closely following the developments and would change their recommendation according to the developments, Kawaguchi pointed out.
Kawaguchi said that they were still closely following the developments.
Japanese Foreign Minister Kawaguchi announced that he had a special interest in Turkey and Turkish culture and told about the story of his interest.
When he was a high school student years ago, he went to the United States as a part of student exchange program, Kawaguchi said.
Kawaguchi noted that the family with whom he stayed in the United States had close ties with a Turkish girl student.
That Turkish girl was having education in Bryn Mawr college and the house where he was staying was near that school, Kawaguchi said.
Kawaguchi narrated that he had a close friendship with that Turkish girl named Esen Ortac and he returned to Japan after the program ended and started to have education in Tokyo University.
He went to New York, the United States again in 1960s benefiting from student exchange program among universities of Tokyo and New York, Kawaguchi said.
Kawaguchi noted that he returned to Japan via Turkey and stayed by family of Esen in Istanbul and said that this was his first meeting with Turkey.
Stating that he had two Turkish friends when he was working in World Bank, Kawaguchi said that one of them was World Bank Vice President Attila Karaosmanoglu and the other was Kemal Dervis.
Kawaguchi said that all those relations made him feel close to Turkey.
Noting that he went to Turkey as a tourist five or six years ago and spent about two weeks there, Kawaguchi said that he learned about multi-dimensional Turkish culture in his visit.
Kawaguchi noted that it was so interesting for him to hear that many civilizations was born in Turkey.
He used to imagine before visiting any country with its borders only and think that anything other than the border did not have any connection with that country, Kawaguchi said.
Kawaguchi stated that after visiting Turkey, he realized that it was not possible to examine history of only one country because culture and civilization was crossing the borders and transferring from one country to the other.
