“From digital platforms to telecommunications, renewable energy to electric vehicles, cloud technology to the defence industry, we are building a strong and wide range of cooperation with China,” Ismail Hak Musa, Turkish ambassador to China, said at the second Turkey-China Business Conference on Wednesday. The first was in July in Istanbul.
