As the Chairman of the Turkish-American (TAIK) and Turkish-Canadian Business Councils, Dr. Argüden contributed to the improvement of Türkiye’s economic relations with the U.S. & Canada and helped to create new business opportunities that span various sectors and areas between these countries. He served as the Coordinator Chair of American Continent Business Councils.
He also served as the Vice Chair of Turkish-French Business Council to help improve Turkish-French and Turkish-EU business relations.
The Presidential Decree to utilize “Türkiye” as the name of the country in all languages became the first step of Dr. Argüden’s long-time pursuit of branding Türkiye as “A Country to Live, Learn, and Innovate”. Click here to read Yılmaz Argüden’s interview with the Anadolu News Agency.
“TAIK / DEIK have been the most important group encouraging Turkish – American trade relations over the past 20 years. It has been a great pleasure and an honor to have been associated with them on some of their most worthwhile enterprises. We look forward to work with them in the future.”
Ahmet M. Ertegün, Chairman, The American Turkish Society
