Nolte Welcomes Members of Turkish Parliament to Missouri State Capitol

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Members of the Missouri House of Representatives welcomed their legislative counterparts from Turkey to the state Capitol Wednesday. Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone, who chairs the House International Trade and Job Creation Committee, was one of a handful of legislators who participated in extensive meetings with the members of the Turkish Parliament. Nolte said the meeting was beneficial to his efforts to help secure new trade partners for the state.

“If Missouri is going to fulfill its vast economic potential, we have to build on relations with trade partners from around the globe,” said Nolte. “Expanding our communication with a potential trade partner like Turkey can only mean positive things for our state. I’m excited to have this opportunity to develop a relationship that could have long-term beneficial results for our state.” In 2010 Missouri exported over $61 Million to Turkey.

Nolte participated in a meeting with Turkish Parliament members M. Salih Erdogan and Ismail Ozgun. Also in attendance were Ibrahim Tutar, an economist and deputy president of the Social Studies Association, and Aydin Danaci, executive director of the Niagra Foundation. Nolte said their meeting was both informative and productive.
