Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister and State Minister for Economy Ali Babacan is expected to be the opening keynote speaker for the Conference which is organised this year under the theme "Achieving Common Objectives". U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates will join Turkey's Minister of National Defense Vecdi Gonul, as luncheon speakers on Monday.
Panel discussions on defense and security affairs, energy and infrastructure, banking and finance, agribusiness and food industries will be held during the annual conference.
The first meeting of the "Framework for Strategic Economic and Commercial Cooperation" between Turkey and the U.S., which was established during Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan's trip to the U.S. in December 2009, will also be held within the scope of the Annual Conference.
Turkish Ministers Babacan and Caglayan, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and U.S Trade Representative Ron Kirk will attend the meeting which is set to be held on Tuesday.
The "Strategic Framework" aims to enhance commercial and economic cooperation, boost bilateral trade, attract more direct investments from U.S. to Turkey. A road map is expected to be drawn out in this respect with the participation of relevant bodies from both parties.
A cooperation agreement in the areas of science and technology will also be signed between the two countries during the conference.
