The aim of this study is to highlight the similarities of objectives and strategic overlaps between Türkiye’s 12th Development Plan (2024-2028) and China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). Within the scope of the study, joint investment and trade opportunities are addressed in critical sectors such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Middle Corridor Plan, digital transformation, green energy, smart cities and logistics. In addition, in the light of the growing economic relations between Türkiye and China, the study examines the potential for the two countries to become strategic partners in the global supply chain based on the “win-win” principle. In particular, it sets out the areas of cooperation that the two countries could jointly develop over the next five-year period (2+3) within the framework of the development plans being implemented in Türkiye and China.
