93. Two goodwill missions from Turkey which recently visited several African States were received with utmost cordiality and hospitality. I would like to take this opportunity to express once again, from this rostrum, my Government's thanks and appreciation for the friendly welcome extended to the Turkish goodwill missions. As an outcome of these successful contacts, the Turkish authorities, on their part, are taking the necessary steps for establishing or strengthening bilateral friendly co-operation with these countries, especially in the field of education and cultural exchange. As an initial step, an increase in scholarships offered to students from the African continent is being envisaged.
