Turkish Volleyball Federation¹ (TVF) president Mehmet Akif Ustundag says Zhu Ting can be an ambassador between China and Turkey.

 

土耳其排球联合会主席穆罕默德·阿基夫·于斯廷达表示，朱婷可以担任中国驻土耳其大使。
 

 

During a recent interview with Xinhua in Istanbul, the TVF president praised Zhu Ting's contribution to help Vakifbank clinch² European trophy³ and World Club champion this year. "We love her and see her as one of us," he said.

 

Zhu Ting, the MVP of Rio Olympic Games, joined Vakifbank volleyball team last September and extended her contract with the Turkish side to play another season here.

 

Futhermore, Zhu's success in Turkish volleyball league has already made her a topic during Turkish Besiktas football team's visit to China this July. Besiktas club staff were quoted as saying "Football Association officials, journalists and football fans, everyone we met in China talked about Zhu's transfer to Turkey."

 

Ustundag responded he felt happy to see volleyball was talked during football meetings, adding he believed Zhu is a key figure of China-Turkey sport relation and TVF would like to do everything to promote bilateral⁴ sport exchanges.
