While in Turkey, connections were made with the Ministry of Trade, Office of the Turkish Commercial Attaché of Energy, T.C. Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı | Republic Of Turkey Ministry of Industry and Technology, and Ministry of Trade, Turkey.
Other prominent business meetings were held with energy, agriculture, and technology leaders. Both ND and Turkish businesses shared ideas on how to best partner for the future on a variety of projects.

Qatari business people with agriculture, energy, and technology expertise welcomed the ND delegation throughout the week of meetings.
The meetings focused on the exciting things happening in the state across several industries, as well as the many opportunities for partnership that will increase synergy between ND and Qatar.
