Pearson: Our Two Countries Should Join Forces

IZMIR - U.S. Ambassador in Ankara W. Robert Pearson said on Monday that Turkey and the United States should join forces.
Pearson whose mission in Turkey will end in July visited Governor Yusuf Ziya Goksu of western province of Izmir.
U.S. Consul in Izmir Scott Edelman was also in attendance at the meeting.
Speaking at the meeting, Pearson said that relations between Izmir and the United States were very important.
Noting that they met with Governor Goksu on opportunities of investment in Izmir and Aegean region by U.S. investors, Pearson said they had a very positive point of view about Izmir.
Stressing that he was visiting Izmir for the last time as the U.S. Ambassador, Pearson said that they should cooperate to develop bilateral relations.
Meanwhile, Governor Goksu said that Pearson had made significant contribution to development of relations between Turkey and the United States during his three-year mission in Turkey.
