Minister Yildirim, Trade your way from us: Transport Maritime and Communications Minister Binali Yildirim, 2023 year in trade targets of 300 billion, stating, "Roads from us, trade from you," he said.
Binali Yıldırım, Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications, and Nihat Ergün, Minister of Science, Industry and Technology, attended the information meeting on infrastructure investments with Kocaeli Chamber of Industry (KSO) members at Wellborn Hotel. Speaking at the meeting, Minister Yıldırım said, “We all know the position and importance of our country. We have an economic size of 25 trillion dollars around us. We're in the zone, producing a more than 60 percent of the whole of our life in Turkey. For years, immigration in the country has come from east to west. Since there is no planned development, we have come to these days by always running after the problems in infrastructure and services. We could never get ahead and say that we planned this place like this. The more roads, the more rail, the more concentration. The duty of power and politics is to produce solutions. We have to make positive discrimination in order to reduce the inter-regional gap and development gap. We will continue to sacrifice some more. The amount of investment made by our ministry in the Kocaeli region alone in the last decade is 4,5 billion TL. We have a big 20 billion project. We are talking about a 430-kilometer project in the Istanbul-Izmit Bay crossing, Bursa, Balıkesir, Manisa, Izmir. Here, we open the section up to Bursa until the end of 2015. 30 years, 3 thousand meters Bolu Mountain tunnel could not finish the 4-foot tunnel to 60 percent a year without a thousand graduates Turkey have come to Turkey, "he said.
“Give gas” to a participant who said “These projects are not enough for you”, Yıldırım continued his words as follows:
“When we connect the Izmit road to Bursa, of course it has both a connection to the third bridge and Gebze's connection to the organized industrial zone there. When we do these, we will reduce the current traffic by 30 percent. What are we doing on holidays? Everybody gets stuck in traffic and goes to his village 5 hours, 10 hours late. Where is this minister rebelling? What should the minister do, my father? The target of our trade in 2023 is 300 billion. The roads are from us, the trade is from you. "
On the question of when the high-speed train will end, Minister Yıldırım said, “We will open Marmara on 29 October. We will start the tests on the high speed train line. It will take a few more months after that, ”he said.
