  • Strong domestic market: Infrastructure and production projects will boost domestic consumption and support steel and industrial demand.

  • Green transition: Environmentally friendly and sustainable production processes will be expanded.

  • Regional development and coordination: Industrial facilities will be developed in a balanced and planned manner.

The meeting also included decisions on national security, agricultural and rural modernization, cultural development, and improving public well-being.
