Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is set to visit Pakistan this week as part of his four-day tour, which also includes stops in Malaysia and Indonesia. His visit is expected to strengthen ties between Turkey and Pakistan, particularly in the area of defense cooperation.
One of the key topics of discussion will be Turkey’s supply of naval vessels to the Pakistan Navy. Both countries have previously worked together in defense, including joint naval exercises such as Turgutreis-XI. This visit will likely further enhance military collaboration between the two nations.
Erdogan’s trip to Pakistan comes after his recent meeting with Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari in Istanbul, where they discussed matters of mutual interest. Additionally, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had also met Erdogan in September 2024, further strengthening diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
This visit highlights the growing partnership between Turkey and Pakistan in various sectors, with defense being a major focus. It is expected to lead to new agreements and initiatives that will benefit both nations.
