Turkish government to Taipei City would be one of the topics for discussion, Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said Thursday.
The mayor was planning a visit to the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Turkey between January 27 and February 6, just ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, the Central News Agency reported.
While urban renewal, environmental protection and public transportation would be the major themes of interest, the Turkish government had reportedly invited Ko to discuss plans to build a mosque in Taipei City.
“If somebody wants to spend hundreds of millions of New Taiwan dollars to build something, I just have to go and discuss that,” CNA quoted the mayor as saying.
