"Our aim is to raise our bilateral trade to 1 billion USD, and to increase our investments in Macedonia to 500 billion USD," Caglayan said during Turkey-Macedonia Trade and
Investment Forum in the northwestern province of Bursa.

Turkey's exports to Macedonia were up 14 percent and reached 299 million USD, while Macedonia's imports to Turkey rose to 92 million USD with a 82 percent year-on-year rise in 2011.
Turkish companies have 180 million USD of investments in Macedonia.
Also, Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Macedonia Chamber of Commerce signed a cooperation protocol on the sidelines of the meeting.
During the meeting, Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski said Macedonia had fulfilled NATO accession conditions in 2008 and the EU had ensured visa liberalization to Macedonia in 2009.
Gruevski said the EU told Macedonia that it had fulfilled all preconditions to launch accession talks, however his country could become a member of neither NATO nor EU due to political problems with Greece.
However, Macedonia was doing everything it could to overcome that problem, Gruevski said.
Gruevski also said that he believed that there would be no problems before Macedonia's EU and NATO membership after the problem was solved.
