We hope to sign other agreements for investment incentive and guarantee," Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Tuesday at a joint press conference with visiting Governor of New Zealand Sir Jerry Mateparae. Trade between the two countries is not sufficient, but there is a potential, according to the Turkish president. Mateparae said that "Turkey and New Zealand have many common points. Improving trade with Turkey is important."
