Foreign investors urged to invest in Turkey

Foreign investors should put their funds into Turkey's expanding economy, the Turkish environment and urbanization minister said on Sunday at a G20 meeting in Japan.

"We call on foreign investors to make investments in our growing country, which is profitable in terms of investment opportunity," Murat Kurum said during a session at the G20 Ministerial Meeting on Energy Transitions and Global Environment for Sustainable Growth in 2019 in Nagano.

Energy and environment ministers of the G20 countries on Saturday gathered in Japan for the first time in the group's history.

The meeting is set to conclude later Sunday.

The G20's membership is made up of 19 individual countries plus the European Union. The group's economies account for around 90% of gross world product and 80% of world trade.
