Türkiye carries the potential to play a unique role in the energy market thanks to its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, an executive of a major energy equipment manufacturer said Tuesday.
"Türkiye has the potential to play a unique role in the energy market thanks to its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia. These capabilities can also make significant contributions at a regional level," said Joseph Anis, the president and CEO of Europe, Middle East and Africa, Gas Power at GE Vernova.
"The fact that COP31 will be held in Türkiye provides an important platform to demonstrate how energy security, energy accessibility and energy transition goals can be managed simultaneously," he added.
Responding to questions from Anadolu Agency (AA), Anis said that Türkiye's scale, industrial base and ambition to become an energy hub support this potential.
He noted that one of Türkiye's key strengths is its technical expertise and skilled workforce in implementing complex energy projects, including power generation, grid and transmission infrastructure.
