World Bank Vice President Philippe Le Houerou and World Bank Executive Director for Turkey Konstantin Huber will accompany Zoellick, who will hold meetings with governmental officials, representatives of the Turkish private sector and nongovernmental organizations.
“Turkey is a development success with a per capita income nearly tripling that of 10 years ago,” Zoellick said in the statement. “It can play an important and growing role in the region and in the world due to its young population, growing economy and geographical position.”
Besides his meetings with Turkish officials in Ankara, Zoellick will join a meeting of the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey, or KAGİDER, in Istanbul to present the Equal Opportunity Model program.
The bank president will also see a seismic risk mitigation project in Istanbul, a program supported by the World Bank, and also visit the World War I battlefields of Gallipoli. |
