Türkiye and Pakistan, which recently played a leading role in facilitating an understanding as mediators in negotiations between Iran and the U.S., are now turning their intensive diplomatic engagement toward expanding economic cooperation, according to a report on Tuesday.
According to information obtained by Anadolu Agency (AA), Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif will pay an official visit to Türkiye on July 2-4, accompanied by ministers and business representatives.
Sharif, who will visit at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is scheduled to hold bilateral and delegation-level meetings, while a Türkiye-Pakistan Business Forum will also take place.
Against this backdrop, the two countries, which have significantly strengthened ties in recent years, particularly in trade, the economy, the defense industry and energy, are expected to elevate their cooperation to a new level.
During their talks, Erdoğan and Sharif will review political and diplomatic relations while placing particular emphasis on economic cooperation, the AA report indicated.
