Turkey plans to introduce direct air-service between Dhaka and Istanbul from 2009 for further strengthening the existing ties between the two countries, particularly through enhancing economic cooperation, reports UNB.
New Turkish Ambassador in Dhaka Sakir Ozkan Toruntar apprised Chief Adviser (CA) Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed of the plan when the envoy paid a courtesy call on him Sunday.
