As we approach the 100th anniversary of our Republic, we are aware that we have a great task ahead of us and a heavy responsibility to bear. As Laleli, we are aware that we must work with all our strength and non-stop to raise our country to the level of contemporary civilizations. Laleli, the most important foreign trade bridge of our country, has the mission and vision to carry out such an important duty completely.
Our companies operating in our region successfully represent our country with their product diversity, service quality, production infrastructure, trend-setting skills and presentation skills. Again, our logistics companies operating in Laleli are the strongest assurance of the ties that Laleli has established with its customers, with their competitive infrastructure, reliable delivery methods and speed. Laleli, whose physical infrastructure is no different from Europe’s leading cities, deserves to be the center of fashion in this sense. The tourism sector of Laleli, which we can call the busiest hotel region of our country, is one of the most important dynamos of Laleli with its years of experience, sincerity in hosting our guests and its capacity to compete with the world. One of the important factors that makes Laleli stand out is that our regional companies can display the newest and trendiest products of world fashion much earlier and more economically than their global competitors. In addition to all these success components, a non-governmental organization like LASİAD, which represents Laleli, undoubtedly forms the basis of this power and growth. LASİAD, which brings together the practicality and adaptability of the private sector with the public through NGOs and transforms these two forces into economic value in a certain harmony, has become one of the most important values of our region over the years. Individual efforts always succeed with social movements. This is where the importance of LASİAD emerges. LASİAD, which is the voice and breath of our region and undertakes an important task in solving the problems facing Laleli and mobilizing the opportunities, reveals its difference in every sense with the projects it carries out. In addition to the social projects we have carried out, the festival we have organized, the valuable guests we have hosted and countless meetings, and the instant and effective solutions we have brought to the problems have played an important role in Laleli’s ability to continue on its way in such a messy, complex and conflict-filled geography. In this respect, it is possible to say that LASİAD has made significant contributions to our country, especially to our regional companies. At this point today, LASİAD has succeeded in becoming an important institution with a high reputation and with which managers working in all kinds of public institutions and organizations consult, get ideas and are proud to act together. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all LASİAD and Laleli lovers who contributed to us reaching this level.
While we carry this noble heritage with great sensitivity, we put forward our efforts with the aim of creating a much stronger Laleli for the future and a much more influential Laleli in world fashion. Even though the past periods have presented countless difficulties and problems, we know that we have the strength, belief, knowledge and experience to achieve this. As long as we are united, let’s believe in ourselves and our country, and walk to the future in unity and solidarity. Then the closed doors will open wide and the roads, even if they are stony, will shoulder us and carry us to our goals.
I greet you with these wishes and wishes and offer my respects with the hope that we can build a much stronger and more successful Laleli together.
