Kılıçdaroğlu, who recently met investors in the UK and the US, said his government would seek to attract $300bn in foreign capital over five years, reversing a big outflow of investment. “Public institutions in Turkey will ensure [investors’] safety in every way,” he said. Kılıçdaroğlu also said he would also immediately move towards resurrecting Turkey’s moribund EU membership talks. But he stressed Turkey, a Nato member, would maintain economic relations with Russia even that though “we do not find it right for Vladimir Putin to attack and occupy Ukraine”.
