Describing his visit to Turkey as a fruitful State visit, which came after a gap of 15 years, Mukherjee said that he was “very warmly received at all places” and made a special mention about Istanbul University which awarded him a Doctorate in Political Sciences.

“I am particularly grateful to the Istanbul University, which is one of the oldest universities in the world, for having conferred on me an honorary doctorate in Political Science. This is not just a personal honour but an honour for India and all Indians,” he said.

He said the two sides expressed satisfaction at the growth in economic cooperation, both in trade and investment but felt, however, that there was considerable potential to further expand this cooperation.
