Our view of Africa has never been like that of the colonialists that came to those lands, and it never will. All our relations with Africa are based on mutual respect and affection as well as on the win-win principle. We are working to strengthen our relations with an approach that fosters shared development, management and prosperity.

African Handicrafts Market and Culture House is a gift to the Turkey-Africa fraternity. It is a venue where our hearts meet. It is a beacon of our constant solidarity with African women, besides being a humble contribution to peace and stability in Africa. I hope the African Culture House will serve as a venue where our African friends living in Turkey come together and bond with each other. I thank all the contributors. I hope it will lead to favorable developments.
