Turkish President Erdogan met Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Istanbul, vowing stronger ties in defence, energy, and transport sectors.

During their meeting in Istanbul, Türkiye and Pakistan reaffirmed their commitment to deepening cooperation across key sectors such as defence, energy, and transportation. President Erdogan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also addressed regional and global challenges, including counterterrorism efforts.

The meeting was attended by Türkiye’s top foreign and defence officials. Despite Türkiye’s historically cordial relations with both Pakistan and India, Erdogan’s recent support for Pakistan following India’s military response in Kashmir has led to boycotts of Turkish goods in India.
