British Prime Minister David Cameron said that they regarded Turkey as BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) of Europe.
Cameron sent a message to the British-Turkish Business Forum organized by Turkish-British Chamber of Trade and Industry, stating that he considered investment and trade should be increased between the two countries.
"Everyone is talking about BRIC countries and rapid growth in economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. We think that Turkey is a BRIC country of Europe," he said.
Cameron said that Britain was the second largest investor in Turkey and 1,800 British companies were operating in Turkey.
Cameron said that trade volume between Turkey and Britain was over 9 billion U.S. dollars currently and the two countries should work to double trade volume within next five years.
