Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif is set to begin an official visit to Türkiye on April 22, where he will hold extensive discussions with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on enhancing bilateral relations and exchanging views on regional and global developments.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the visit will further solidify the strong ties between the two countries, which share a deep-rooted history of cooperation and mutual respect. As long-standing allies and strategic partners, Pakistan and Türkiye have maintained regular high-level exchanges, reflecting their exceptional relationship.
