In order to achieve its objectives China Institute Turkey focuses on four areas of interest which are economy, culture, business and education; supports and stimulates research and publications, organizes events to create mutual balanced opportunities and develops and maintains projects in order to create synergy and harmony.

The People’s Republic of China, as the second biggest economy of the world in terms of GDP has always been an attractive society due to its specific heritage in terms of culture, science and politics.

The fact that it has been unknown for decades and the diversity within the country itself has led most of the non-Asian cultures to misunderstand and misinterpret Chinese culture, science and politics.

As China Institute Turkey, we support our stakeholders and society at large on exploring both China and Turkey, and to discover what mutual opportunities can be achieved by an harmonious and sustainable cooperation between these two fast growing economies.
