While the vehicle ownership in Turkey was approximately 8 million, today the vehicle ownership has increased to 30 million. We also increased the average speed between cities from 40 kilometers per hour to 90 kilometers per hour. There were 26 airports in Turkey. We built 32 more airports in 22 years. It's really easy to say. So we almost built an airport every year and a half. The number of people traveling was 214 million last year, including international flights.

We think it's going to be $230 million this year. Istanbul Airport was 53 million as of the end of last month. We expect it to reach 80 million this year.

Uraloğlu pointed out that they continue to work, that they do not only invest in infrastructure in Turkey, that they also start to produce rail system vehicles, and we produced our own electric passenger train, which goes at 160 kilometers per hour, for example, within our iron roads.

We were already building our locomotives. Now we are at a speed of 225 kilometers, I hope we will start this next year. We'll produce it. On the one hand, we are now planning to build 300-350 kilometers of roads. For example, we want to make a super-fast train between Ankara ⁇ and Istanbul at 350 kilometers per hour. ⁇

Uraloğlu, who also stated that there are 217 large and small ports in Turkey, how can we make our country truly equipped against all risks after Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war? How can we overcome those risks with little difficulty? We're thinking about it, he said.

Uraloğlu said that the number of mobile phone subscribers in Turkey, which has a population of 85 million, exceeded 90 million. Emphasizing that they are trying to meet the needs in 81 provinces of Turkey, Uraloğlu continued as follows:

We tried to touch him for God's sake. God has given us these things, and He has given us these things. How do we make our people's work easier? We have been in this effort, with good intentions... Here are the possibilities limited, the needs unlimited. I'd like to say I've never agreed to that. Is it not clear what a person's needs are? Is there no limit?

Absolutely there is. Aren't the needs of a country limited? Absolutely, in that sense, sometimes there are discourses at the point of a complete consumption policy. I'd say I don't find them quite right with that approach. Of course, we should have caught this point of Turkey much earlier. We have done very well in terms of technology, but I would like to say that we have more work to do. We're trying at that point. ⁇

Uraloğlu reminded that 3.5 million people of Turkish origin live in Germany and said that 10 percent of this is in the capital Berlin.

Minister Uraloğlu, ⁇ Dear brothers, it is very valuable for you to be here. For one thing, you have an effort at the subsistence of your own family and relatives individually. So you have a lot of sacrifices. Then it's about bringing foreign currency to our country. Then you have your efforts to provide employment here. These are really precious to us. You're here selflessly. And you represent our country, our Turkey, here in a beautiful way. I think your every move is the equivalent of a representation in that sense. ⁇ He spoke in the form.

Development Road Project Turkey-Iraq-United Arab Emirates-Qatar 1. The Council of Ministers Meeting was held in Istanbul Dolmabahçe Palace.

Following the meeting, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu and Minister of Transport of Iraq Rezzak Muheybes es-Sadavi made a statement.

Minister Uraloğlu, in his speech at the meeting, stated that the first ministerial council meeting was held to shape the future vision of the Development Road Project, which is described as the new Silk Road.

Stating that the main feature of the modern economy is multinational production, international financial flows and international trade volume to reach very large dimensions, Uraloğlu said, ⁇ No one is rich or self-sufficient anymore. If you close your doors, if you close your eyes, if you close your ears, if you look at the developments in the world from a distance, if you do not make friends, you will not find a place in today's world. Everyone has good tastes to add to the cake and the shares they will definitely get from the cake. ⁇ he said.

Uraloğlu stated that the era is now the win-win era and the transportation sector is the most important dynamo of the win-win era, ⁇ At this point, we have come together not only for the future of the transportation and logistics sectors, but also for the economic and social cultural future of our countries. ⁇

Stating that Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which are the stakeholders of the meeting, participated in the meeting online due to their own programs, Uraloğlu continued his words as follows:

⁇ Because it is very valuable and important for all of you that the transportation facilities are safe, uninterrupted and fast for the establishment of economic cooperation that is indispensable for our countries and the development of our foreign trade activities. In this context, within the scope of our President's visit to Irak ⁇ a on April 22, 2024, Turkey, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Joint Cooperation on the Way to Development. In accordance with this memorandum of understanding, we had taken a decision to establish a council of ministers of 4 countries and to follow the Development Road Project. Today, as Turkey, we hosted the first meeting of this council. ⁇

⁇ Our cooperation within the scope of the project will be further strengthened ⁇

Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said that they had the opportunity to evaluate and consult the project together through this council, which will maximize the cooperation of 4 countries regarding the Development Road Project.

Stating that they discussed the contribution of the establishment of uninterrupted and fast transportation through Turkey and Iraq to the transportation corridors, Uraloğlu said that they decided to take steps together to reveal the concrete outcomes of the cooperation in this field in the future.

Uraloğlu stated that they care about the activities of the council in order to act together and implement the plans quickly, and used the following statements:

In addition, since it is our first meeting, we discussed the determination of the management and functioning mechanisms of the council of ministers created within the scope of the Development Road Project and how the future roadmap should be in this regard. Our meetings within the body of this council established within the scope of the Development Road Project will continue in the coming period. I sincerely believe that our cooperation within the scope of the project will be further strengthened. ⁇ ????????

⁇ We will significantly reduce the travel time through Turkey ⁇

Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Uraloğlu underlined that the Development Road Project is an important project not only in terms of the gains to be achieved by 4 countries, but also in terms of the gains to be achieved by the whole geography and the supply chain.

Uraloğlu stated that they will have established uninterrupted transportation to every country of Europe by land and rail from Fav Port, which was built in Iraq with the Development Road Project, to London, and that we will significantly reduce the travel time between Asia and Europe through Turkey. I would like to express in particular that it will provide a 15-day gain between the time between the arrival of a ship departing from Fav Port to Avrupa ⁇ via the Suez Canal and the arrival of the same cargo to Avrupa ⁇ via the Development Road. ⁇

In the continuation of the transformation that started in global supply chains during the Covid-19 pandemic, Uraloğlu explained that there were significant changes in the logistics map of the region we are in after the Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2022, ⁇ Again, with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that started in October 2023, as a result of the security crisis in the Red Sea Region, commercial ship crossings in the Suez Canal ⁇ came into trouble. This route was not preferred by global shipping companies, and instead, the Cape of Good Hope began to travel and use a much more distant road.

⁇ The project will also be a complement to existing transport corridors ⁇

Therefore, if we had finished the Development Road Corridor today, we would have significantly reduced such costs. In addition, the Development Road will not only offer a cost-effective and short-term transport corridor, but will also be a complement to existing transport corridors. It will also connect the corridors in the east-west direction to the north-south direction. Thus, the Development Road Project, which will directly contribute to the global trade system, will also make an important contribution to the development and development of all participating countries. When all these aspects are considered, it is obvious that the Council of Ministers we have formed has undertaken an extremely important mission.

⁇ The project will contribute to all participating countries, the region and the world economy ⁇
