Chinese tech giant Oppo has begun test production of smartphones at its new facility in Istanbul's Tuzla district, despite the ongoing plant construction process.

Minister of Industry and Technology of Turkey Mustafa Varank visited a new high-tech factory, which will occupy 12 square meters.

According to the minister, the production lines of the plant will reach their capacity within the next 3 months, which will provide jobs for more than 1000 residents of Istanbul.

“The government and personally President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are making efforts to create the most convenient conditions for investors. Everyone who invests in Turkey benefits from it, ”Varank emphasized.
