Trade minister urges rules-based trade system at OECD meeting
Trade Minister Ömer Bolat has called for the protection of a rules-based multilateral trade system, warning against rising protectionist measures in global trade.
Bolat made the remarks during the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting in Paris, where ministers discussed industrial policies, open markets and global economic challenges.
He said Türkiye supported the liberalization of global trade and the strengthening of the World Trade Organization-centered multilateral system.
“We emphasized that the liberalization of trade worldwide and the strengthening and preservation of the rules-based multilateral trade system centered around the WTO are the key to economic development, growth and progress in global trade,” Bolat said.
