CTI urges business entities to boycott Chinese Turkish goods in national interest
May-13-2025

The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has appealed to over 700 business organisations in the national capital to halt all forms of trade with China and Turkey. China and Turkey have supported rival positions in the Indo-Pak conflict.

CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said China benefits significantly from Indian markets, with its products widely used in businesses across the country. Despite this, it continues to take an unfriendly stance. It is time to reconsider our economic dependence on such nations. He further emphasised the importance of gradually reducing commercial ties, particularly with Turkey, which earns considerable revenue from Indian tourism.

According to CTI, in 2024, about 2.75 million Indian tourists visited Turkey, contributing to a bilateral trade volume of $12.5 billion between the two nations. The chamber also raised concerns over the lack of proper labelling on imported goods.
