Speaking at a Turkish-Indian Business Forum Meeting in New Delhi, Erdoğan called on Indian businessmen to make investments in Turkey.

Noting that Turkey had a rapidly growing economy, Erdoğan said his country acted as a bridge between the Islam world and the West with its multi-cultural structure.

"Turkey is the meeting point of different cultures and civilizations," he said.

Erdoğan also said that the "Ceyhan-Red Sea Oil Pipeline" project would be implemented soon with the participation of India.

Before attending the Turkish-Indian Business Forum Meeting, Premier Erdoğan was received by Indian President Pratibha Patil and held talks with Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday.
