ANKARA - Agriculture and Rural Affairs Minister Sami Guclu left for the Netherlands on Monday on a working visit.
Responding questions of journalists at Ankara's Esenboga Airport prior to his departure, Guclu said that signing of an agriculture protocol between Turkey and the Netherlands would top agenda of his four-day visit.
He stressed that the government wanted to benefit from experiences of the Netherlands about agricultural reforms in the European Union (EU) process.
Noting that they would seek co-operation opportunities with the Netherlands in agriculture and husbandry, Guclu added that he would visit some institutions and facilities in the Netherlands.
