(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The presidential candidate for Turkey's main opposition has hit out at a lack of mainstream media coverage for opposition parties and candidates before elections in June.
Muharrem Ince, the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) candidate to challenge President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the June 24 snap elections, claimed that a 'media embargo had been placed on opposition parties upon Erdogan's request.
'Television channels, which even broadcast the AK Party's provincial congresses live, did not show our rally in Yalova live. We will go on by fighting with this media structure, Ince said on Twitter yesterday.
'If the media embargo ordered by the Palace continues, we will hold our rallies in front of TV stations, he said, referring to the 1,000-room presidential palace built by Erdogan in Ankara.
Neither Erdogan nor the AKP have responded directly to claims that coverage of the opposition is being curbed.
Turkish media is saturated with coverage of Erdogan and his ministers, with the president's daily routine of two or three speeches being broadcast on all major channels, while opposition parties get little to no coverage.
Rallies by the CHP, pro-Kurdish Peoples Democratic Party (HDP) and the fledgling Iyi (Good) Party, led by former interior minister Meral Aksener, are rarely shown by the main broadcasters.
On Friday, the HDP streamed the nomination of its jailed former leader Selahattin Demirtas as a presidential candidate on social media when broadcasters ignored their announcement.

Qatar- Amazon, Google end boycott of each others' video services
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The frosty relationship between Google and Amazon.com Inc thawed a little further.
The two tech giants said on Thursday they would begin letting each others' video services appear on their respective streaming gadgets. YouTube will soon be available on Amazon's Fire TV while Amazon Prime Video will show up on Google's Chromecast and Android TV devices, the companies said in a statement.
The two companies have feuded before when it comes to businesses they both operate in. Amazon stopped selling Google's home assistant devices, which compete with the retailer's Alexa speakers, on its website in 2015 but lifted the boycott at the end of 2017. YouTube hasn't been available on Amazon devices since 2017.
Streaming is a crowded field, with companies like Roku Inc and Apple Inc. competing on the hardware side and tech and media companies alike jumping deeper into the streaming business. Walt Disney Co joined the fray this month with a $6.99-a-month streaming service carrying popular content like Star Wars and Marvel superhero movies. Reaching a detente might help Amazon and Google continue to grow their user bases and fend off smaller rivls.
As Alphabet Inc.'s Google and Amazon expand, they compete in new and bigger categories. Google is chasing Amazon's lead in cloud services and home assistant devices, while Amazon is quickly building an online advertising empire that's beginning to edge into Google's traditional territory.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Overseas Pakistanis sent a record $2.768 billion (Dh10.15 billion) in remittances in July, an increase of 36.5 per cent or $740 million over the same month last year, according to the State Bank of Pakistan.
It was the highest ever recorded workers' remittances in a single month in the country's 74-year history. All the major source markets including the UK, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the other GCC countries witnessed an increase in remittances.
Central bank data showed that remittances from the UK grew from $299 million to $394 million in July; while remittances from Saudi Arabia increased from $471 million to $821.5 million; and from $427 million to $538 million in the UAE. Within the UAE, remittances from Dubai moved up from $277.2 million to $443 million but fell in Abu Dhabi from $145.3 million to $88.3 million. Remittance flow from the US also shrank, falling from $322 million to $250.6 million
The remittances in July increased $302 million or 12.2 per cent over the previous month.
In 2019-20, Pakistan received record $23.12 billion remittances, an increase of 6.4 per cent over previous year.
The increased flow for July is mainly attributed to Eid Al Adha, which was celebrated on July 31, as well as government initiatives to attract more foreign direct investment into the country, especially in the real estate sector to give fillip to the economy. The government has invited overseas Pakistanis to invest in key sector and they will not be required to reveal their source of income till the end of 2020.
Several other factors have also supported the growth in remittances to-date, including orderly exchange rate conditions and policy steps taken by the government under the Pakistan Remittance Initiative. These steps include reducing the threshold for eligible transactions from $200 to $100 under the Reimbursement of Telegraphic Transfer (TT) Charges Scheme, an increased push towards adoption of digital channels, and targeted marketing campaigns to promote formal channels for sending remittances.
"July's strong yearly growth rate is around twice as high as the Eid Al Adha related seasonality typically experienced over the last decade, suggesting other factors are at play. Since the global outbreak of Coronavirus in February 2020, remittances have increased by 14.3 per cent compared to the same period last year," the State Bank of Pakistan said on Monday.
"Given the impact of Covid-19 globally, this increase in workers' remittances is encouraging. Increased incentives from the State Bank and Government of Pakistan to send remittances through official channels has supported remittances growth," said the central bank.

(MENAFN) It is unclear whether former US President Donald Trump will be arrested on Tuesday as he has predicted. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has not confirmed or denied whether Trump will be indicted on campaign finance violations for his alleged payment of hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Trump was invited to testify before a grand jury earlier this month regarding the Stormy Daniels scandal, which may be a prelude to an indictment.
Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopino, has argued that the crime as alleged – falsifying records – is a misdemeanor and only becomes a felony if prosecutors can prove it was done intentionally and maliciously. He has also argued that Trump cannot be prosecuted in the state of New York for a federal election charge, and that since Trump's personal funds were used to pay the porn actress, the payment was not a campaign expense at all.
Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen has admitted to paying $130,000 to Daniels so that she would not publicise her affair with the former president, though Trump has denied actually having an affair with Daniels. Michael Avenatti, the attorney who represented Daniels in her effort to extricate herself from the non-disclosure agreement she signed with Cohen, was sentenced last year to four years in prison for defrauding the adult film actress of some $300,000.

DOHA:Turkey's Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communication Ahmet Arslan held talks Sunday in Doha with his Qatari counterpart H E Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti.
Speaking to reporters, Arslan said they discussed means of bolstering cooperation between Ankara and Doha.
He called for pursuing dialogue for solving the Gulf crisis, which began in June when four Arab countries Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut off ties with Qatar.
The four states accuse Qatar of supporting terrorism, a claim vehemently denied by Doha.
"Turkey will continue to take all necessary steps to overcome this crisis, he said.
'Qatari companies operating in Turkey and Turkish firms working in Qatar take our commercial ties to a higher level, Arslan said. 'My counterpart and I cooperate to realize our goals of improving bilateral ties in the fields of transportation and communication.
He said both Turkey and Qatar are ready to assess land, sea and air transportation opportunities and take concrete steps towards deepening cooperation in the transportation field.
"Qatar Airlines will commence flights between Adana and Doha as of November 6; these upcoming flights will benefit Qatari and Turkish citizens along with the civil aviation sector," Arslan added.
The Turkish minister said he invited his Qatari counterpart to the International E-Commerce Conference, to be held on November 20-21 in Antalya.
He voiced hope that the upcoming meeting of the Turkey-Qatar High Strategic Committee, which will be held in Doha, would serve the best of both countries.
Arslan is scheduled to meet Qatari Prime Minister H E Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani next week.

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt)
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi announced a significant social protection package worth EGP 180bn to address the country's rising inflation and support workers across various sectors.
The package, described as the“largest urgent social protection package” in the country's history, includes a substantial increase in the minimum wage, pension hikes, and additional measures to ease the financial burden on citizens.
Egypt has raised the minimum wage by 50% to EGP 6,000 Egyptian as part of an EGP 180bn social protection package, the Egyptian presidency announced in a press statement on Wednesday.
The statement said that Egyptian President Al-Sisi has directed them to increase the wages of state and economic entity workers by a minimum of EGP 1,000 to EGP 1,200 depending on their job grade.
The package includes EGP 15bn in additional increases for doctors, nurses, teachers, and university faculty members, as well as EGP 6bn to appoint 120,000 members of the medical professions, teachers, and other administrative workers.
The social package also includes a 15% increase in pensions for 13 million Egyptians at a total cost of EGP 74bn, and a 15% increase in“Takaful and Karama” pensions at a cost of EGP 5.5bn, bringing the total increase over the year to 55% of the pension value.
According to the statement, EGP 41bn will be allocated for“Takaful and Karama” pensions in the fiscal year 2024/2025.
The social package also includes“raising the tax exemption limit for all state, government, and private sector employees by 33%, from EGP 45,000 to EGP 60,000 pounds, at a total annual cost of EGP 5 billion.
Wave of Inflation
In September, the Egyptian president directed the government to increase the“exceptional cost of living allowance” for public sector employees to EGP 600 from EGP 300 and to increase the minimum income for the sixth job grade to EGP 4,000 from EGP 3,500.
Egypt is experiencing a wave of high inflation, with official figures exceeding 30%, and there has been a large and frequent increase in the prices of all goods, services, vegetables, fruits, and white and red meat.
The price of the dollar on the black market reached EGP 70 at the end of last week, before retreating to between EGP 52 and EGP 55 currently, according to dealers in the parallel market on condition of anonymity.
However, the gap with the official rate of EGP 30.9 per dollar since last year remains large, confirming the severe shortage of foreign currency that Egypt is suffering from.
A mission from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Egypt announced“excellent progress in the discussions on the comprehensive policy package needed to reach a staff-level agreement for the first and second combined reviews of Egypt's economic reform program supported by the Fund.”

Continuation of US-China policy highlights violence, bipartisan consensus
(MENAFN) The trajectory of U.S. policy towards China has undergone notable shifts, transitioning from the trade tensions characterized by severe tariffs under former President Donald Trump to more targeted measures on technology and investments during the tenure of President Joe Biden. Experts anticipate that regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections in November, the contest of strength between the two nations will persist.
In a political landscape marked by deep polarization, one issue where bipartisan consensus appears evident is the approach to China. Analysts suggest that this consensus is likely to manifest in increasingly stringent policies towards Beijing, irrespective of whether the incumbent President Biden secures a second term or if Republican Trump returns to the White House.
Joshua Meltzer, a researcher at the Brookings Institution, opined that the prevailing sentiment in Washington is inclined towards escalating pressure and aggression towards China. Since assuming office in 2021, President Biden has not only upheld the stringent tariffs imposed by his predecessor but has also implemented a series of targeted measures aimed at curtailing Beijing's access to advanced technology, particularly in the realm of electronic chips. Additionally, the Biden administration has imposed limitations on American investments in China as part of its strategy.
Concurrently, efforts to promote the repatriation of corporate activities to the United States have been encouraged by the U.S. government. Officials are also actively pursuing initiatives to bolster domestic self-reliance across critical sectors, including the advancement of clean energy supplies. These measures reflect a broader strategic approach aimed at safeguarding American interests and mitigating perceived vulnerabilities in the face of growing competition from China.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 16. After Heydar Aliyev
came to power, creative work in all spheres of the country took on
a wide scale, Chair of the Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan
Sahiba Gafarova said at a special meeting of the Milli Majlis
dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Great Leader
Heydar Aliyev, trend reports.
"Already in that period, the rich economic potential of the
future independent Azerbaijan was formed. At that time, many
reforms were carried out in the social sphere. The national leader
has successfully developed the country's foreign economic
relations," the speaker said.
She noted that ensuring stability and security in the country
made it possible to implement the oil strategy, and billions of
dollars were invested in the country's economy.
"The State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan was created for the rational
use of oil resources. At the same time, economic reforms and
privatization were carried out. The implementation of the foreign
policy concept based on scientific foundations has begun. If it was
not for the work carried out by Heydar Aliyev in all spheres of the
country, it would be difficult to talk about an independent
Azerbaijan today," Gafarova added.

Islamabad, Feb 11 (IANS) In what appears to be the latest in a series of cyber attacks, Indian hackers have reportedly managed to extract data from Pakistans Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) office, Samaa TV reported.
The hackers gained unauthorised access to the ministry's systems and were able to extract a significant amount of data.
Based on a LinkedIn post shared by Zaki Khalid, an intelligence analyst, there has been a potential data leak of Pakistan's MoFA, Samaa TV reported.
The Sidewinder group, allegedly based out of India, has released sample datasets of a total of 7.5 TB that is believed to have been breached from the ministry's systems, the report said.
The leaked files also include WhatsApp conversations between the members of the Pakistan Consulate in Barcelona.
The authenticity of the data samples has not been confirmed, but Zaki Khalid suggested that the matter warrants a thorough technical audit of MoFA's systems and networks, including the likelihood of certain officers' smartphones being compromised.
The sample datasets have been released on one of the group's Telegram channels.
The timing of this potential data leak is notable, as India's Ministry of External Affairs was recently reported to have faced a similar breach by an unidentified hacker.
This breach could be a tit-for-tat response, which may have been perceived as originating from Pakistan, said Zaki Khalid, Samaa TV reported.
It is important to note the Indo-Pak rivalry and previous instances of Indian hackers attacking Pakistan's cybersecurity space, which add a layer of complexity to the situation, the report said.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) A 1994 plane crash in Panama which killed 21 people was a 'terrorist attack,' President Juan Carlos Varela said Monday, citing Israeli intelligence reports, The Times of Israel reported.
'I have ordered the reopening of the case after intelligence reports' indicated the incident 'was a terrorist attack,' Varela told reporters.
Varela has just returned from Israel where he held talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week.
According to the president, the attack was 'confirmed by Israeli intelligence'.
Most of the 21 people killed were Jewish businessmen operating in Panama's Colon Free Trade Zone.
The crash happened on July 19, 1994 when the plane exploded shortly after taking off from the Enrique Jimenez airport in the Caribbean province of Colon.
The cause of the crash was never clarified.
One of the hypotheses considered at the time was that a Lebanese suicide bomber had detonated an explosive with the aim of killing Jews.
'We are going to have meetings with Panamanian and international authorities to formally request the reopening of the case and to know those responsible for this terrorist attack, where deplorably many Panamanians coming from the Colon free zone lost their lives,' Varela said.
The explosion happened a day after a bomb ripped through the offices of a Jewish center in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, killing 85 people.

(MENAFN) According to the country's foreign minister, Jan Lipavsky, the Czech government will advocate for an EU-wide ban on Russian tourists during a ministerial summit in late August. The proposal aims to increase the number of sanctions against Russia that are currently in place due to its military operation in Ukraine.
“We are convinced as a government that halting visas for ordinary Russian citizens gives a very clear and straightforward signal to Russian society,” Lipavsky informed Politico magazine on Thursday. He claimed that Russians “should realize that such a militant policy has consequences.”
The politician declared that he would put forward the proposal at a gathering of EU foreign ministers scheduled for August 31 in Prague.
“We are trying to explain to our partners that the approach is justified and effective,” Lipavsky stated. He also claimed that a visa ban could support “decrease the influence of the Russian secret service in the EU.”
Since Russia began its military operation in Ukraine in late February, the European Union has imposed sanctions and severed ties with Moscow. Russian citizens were no longer able to apply for visas in Prague after the war started.
Invoking security concerns, Latvia stopped issuing visas to almost all Russians earlier this month. On Thursday, Estonia announced that it would follow suit and forbid Russian nationals with Estonian visas from entering the nation beginning on August 18.

Turkish EU minister: Cyprus issue to be solved in 2015
(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) The Cyprus dispute will be solved in 2015, Turkey's EU Minister Volkan Bozkir said Tuesday.
Bozkir added that finding a solution for the Cyprus issue is less difficult than solving the Syria and Ukraine conflicts.
"Because its parameters are obvious, I think this problem will be solved by this year," Bozkir said in Istanbul during a meeting of the Turkish Shipbuilders' Association.
A joint declaration was made on Feb. 11, 2014 between Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades and the president at the time of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Dervis Eroglu, on the start of renewed negotiations to settle the Cyprus dispute.
Peace negotiations over Cyprus between the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot administrations are set to resume on May 15, the UN's Special Advisor Espen Barth Eide said on Sunday.
Peace talks were unilaterally suspended by the Greek Cypriot administration last October after Turkey issued an advisory on behalf of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for seismic research off the coast of Cyprus.
The island was divided into a Turkish Cypriot government in the northern third and a Greek Cypriot administration in the southern two-thirds after a 1974 military coup by Greece was followed by the intervention of Turkey as a guarantor power in Cyprus.

Perth, Dec 5 (IANS) Australia's legendary wicketkeeper-batter Ian Healy has sounded an ominous warning for the touring West Indies Test side, saying they might simply collapse in the second and final Test at Adelaide beginning on December 8.
The West Indies top order put up a dogged fight in both innings of the first Test they lost by 164 runs at Perth. But Healy believes they will not be able to withstand the Australian onslaught at Adelaide and are likely to crumble as they lack 'sharpness' and 'fitness'.
Though the Kraigg Brathwaite-led side's top order did well, their bowler were off-colour, managing just six wickets in the opening Test, with Australia's Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in particular punishing the attack.
'They're saying it was a dogged performance by the West Indies...I'd agree with that, their top order was quite dogged against our bowling onslaughts, but I don't think they had much else,' Healy told SENQ's Pat and Heals on Monday.
'I think they lacked sharpness and they lacked fitness. They've got to get a lot better. My suspicions are they might collapse in Adelaide.'
Healy was all praise for Labuschagne and Smith, declaring their efforts were some of the best of their careers. Labuschagne and Smith scored double-centuries in the first innings, before the former scored an unbeaten 104 in the second essay.
'Those first innings knocks by Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith were some of the best batting I've seen both of them do and that's saying something,' said Healy. 'Travis Head was aggressive. It was a good hit out. They're going to need to be that good under pressure. They did it when the pressure wasn't really on, but under pressure against South Africa they should be ready.
'Very good by the boys. I really liked their mannerisms. They were very appreciative to the crowd that showed up,' added Healy.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. Former Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili has hailed the arrest of former
"state minister" of separatist regime in Azerbaijan's Karabakh
Ruben Vardanyan, Trend reports.
“Right now there is a conflict between good and evil happening
around us. Azerbaijan arrested Vardanyan, who actively supported
the war in Ukraine, as well as the so-called“foreign minister”
David Babayan, who developed ties with the so-called Abkhazia and
South Ossetia," Saakishvili wrote on his page on X (Twitter).
He also mentioned that the "above-mentioned occupied territories
have lost their partners".
As a result of the vigilance of the State Border Guard Service
of Azerbaijan, on September 27, Ruben Vardanyan (born in 1968), who
was heading from Azerbaijan towards Armenia, was detained at the
Lachin border checkpoint, having illegally arrived in the territory
of Azerbaijan and holding the "post" of the so-called "state
minister" of the separatist regime in Karabakh.
Substantial suspicions were established that Vardanyan,
currently a citizen of Armenia, had committed criminal acts under
Articles 214-1 (financing of terrorism), 279.3 (participation in
the establishment and activities of armed formations or groups not
provided for by law), and 318.1 (illegal crossing of the state
border of Azerbaijan) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan.
The Sabail District Court in Baku has sentenced Vardanyan to

(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
WASHINGTON, 29th October 2017 (WAM) -- World natural gas prices are projected to rise 3 percent in 2018, driven by robust demand in the United States, the World Bank said.
''In the United States, prices are expected to increase 4 percent to US$3.1/mmbtu on strong domestic demand, rising exports, and modest gains in production'' the World Bank said in its October Commodity Markets Outlook.
''More moderate increases are expected in Europe and Japan, largely tracking oil prices. Markets are expected to be well supplied over the next several years, owing to large increases in LNG capacity, mainly in Australia and the United States.'' ''European gas prices were unchanged at $5.3/mmbtu. However, spot prices rose to $7.0/mmbtu in October on strong demand ahead of winter for stocking, and reflected reduced nuclear capacity in France, high coal prices, and tight LNG supply,'' the report added.
Natural gas prices fell 2 percent in the third quarter (q/q), but averaged 26 percent higher in the first nine months compared to the same period in 2016, largely reflecting a similar increase in oil prices.
In the third quarter, prices in the United States fell 4 percent to $2.9/mmbtu due to mild weather, reduced demand from those impacted by hurricanes, rising production, and ample levels of storage ahead of winter. Looking ahead, demand for gas is expected to strengthen from new chemical and fertilizer capacity and from rising exports by pipeline to Mexico and via liquefied natural gas, LNG, worldwide.
The World Bank's Commodity Markets Outlook provides detailed market analysis for major commodity groups, including energy, metals, agriculture, precious metals, and fertilisers. The report includes price forecasts to 2030 for more than 45 commodities. It also provides historical price data and supply, demand, and trade balances for most commodities.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is calling on the international community to recognize Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure facilities as the eternal Russian policy of the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
The relevant statement on energy terrorism of the russian federation was issued by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
In this document, Parliament is calling on the civilized world to condemn Russia's insidious attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure objects and acknowledge that systematic attacks on such facilities is a continuation of the Russian eternal policy of the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
According to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine expects partners to speed up the supply of modern anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems, which are required to protect Ukraine and the neighboring countries against Russian armed aggression.
Additionally, Parliament urged the international community to increase sanctions against Russia as a terrorist state and remove any opportunity for the aggressor state to avoid such restrictive measures.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine also called for the establishment of special international tribunal to investigate Russian war crimes in Ukraine, as well as increased international efforts to implement funding mechanisms for Ukraine's post-war reconstruction, namely at the expense of the Russian Federation, acting as an aggressor state.
In addition, Parliament urged partners to accelerate the supply of high-voltage equipment required to restore power supply services for critical infrastructure, hospitals, schools, kindergartens and residential houses, which had been de-energized after Russian attacks on energy infrastructure objects.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to the democratic world to intensify efforts and free the European continent from Russia-provoked energy dependence.
Parliament expressed confidence that“Russian armed terror will not be able to break either Ukraine, or its friends and allies. Instead, our solidarity will become stronger, our Victory is steadily approaching, and evil will certainly be punished.”
A reminder that Russia is continuously launching massive terrorist attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Land allotment picks up at Rubber Park in Piravanthur, Kerala
Kollam, May 24 (KNN) The allotment of land for industrial use at the newly set up Rubber Park in Piravanthur is progressing quickly.
Spread over an area of 19.9 acres the park has nearly 10.6 acres available for industrial use, reported The Hindu.
The park can allot 19 plots of various sizes from 25 cents to 116 cents.
It's the second Rubber Park in Kerala set up with an aim to exclusively promote natural rubber-based industries.
George V. James, managing director, Rubber Park India (P) Ltd said,“Electricity, water, road, and drainage facilities, have been provided so that entrepreneurs can straightaway start construction. We have already allotted land for two industries and we are getting a lot of enquiries.”
Though the project started more than a decade ago, the progress was hit due to technical issues as the location was declared environmentally sensitive area (ESA).
While only rubber-based and rubber wood industries classified as Orange, Green or White by the Pollution Control Board (PCB) are permitted, the park has no common effluent treatment plant since it falls into the ESA.
Latex-based units, dry rubber-based products, rubber mixing or reclamation units, and rubber wood-based units can use the facility to function.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) AFP
Seoul: South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol headed to the Netherlands Monday for a state visit that he said would focus on boosting crucial semiconductor cooperation between the two global chip powerhouses.
The Netherlands is home to ASML, which produces the lithography equipment that makes semiconductors, and for years the two countries have worked together "in an exemplary manner", Yoon told AFP in a written interview ahead of his departure.
During his three-day trip, he will visit the ASML headquarters, including its highly controlled "cleanroom" manufacturing facilities, becoming the first foreign leader to do so.
This "will mark a crucial turning point for the 'Korea-Netherlands semiconductor alliance'", Yoon told AFP, adding that discussions on chip cooperation were his "top priority" for his state visit, the first by a Korean leader since bilateral ties were established in 1961.
Yoon's office said last week that South Korea aims to establish a "chip alliance" with the Netherlands, which would involve government bodies, businesses, and universities from both countries.
US F-16 crashes into sea off South Korea after in-flight problem UK Covid-19 inquiry to grill PM Sunak over Eat Out scheme
The Netherlands recently joined the United States and Japan in imposing export restrictions on advanced chip-making equipment aimed at preventing China from acquiring sensitive inputs that could be used in cutting-edge weapons and tech such as artificial intelligence.
The curbs have infuriated Beijing, which has accused Washington of "technological terrorism".
The US-led export restrictions have become an issue for South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which, like most of the world's biggest chip makers, base a large portion of their production, especially of advanced DRAM and flash memory chips, in China.
Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK chairman Chey Tae-won plan to join Yoon during the visit to ASML, according to local media.
Seoul is a key regional ally of Washington, and earlier this month, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo urged US allies to stop China from getting semiconductors and cutting-edge technologies vital to national security.
Yoon said his country plans "to significantly boost semiconductor cooperation with such major countries as the Netherlands, the United States and Japan going forward."
