As Turkish President Erdogan visits Islamabad, Turkey and Pakistan hope their historic relations can culminate into a strong economic partnership
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan walks with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on his arrival in Islamabad, Pakistan, February 13, 2020.
The high-level delegations comprising of cabinet members and senior government officials and leading businessmen will be exploring new opportunities and finalising several agreements. “We have deliberated our relationship in detail during the council meeting,” Khan said, adding that the 13 memorandums of understanding signed by both parties is an indication of “how important the relations between us are".
The Pak-Turk Military Consultative Group was established in 1988 aiming to strengthen military relations between the two countries. However, as ties improved, the scope of cooperation expanded and took on a new name, the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council . Most notably, in 2018, Pakistan purchased $1.5 billion worth of 30 Turkish-made T-129 attack helicopters.
Turkey also supports Pakistan in the Financial Action Task Force , which, if it blacklists Pakistan, could significantly limit Islamabad’s economic ability and isolate the country. In April 2019, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan signed the International Road Transport agreement. The deal will open a direct Istanbul-Tehran-Islamabad trade corridor with smooth customs control, linking Turkey, Central Asia and Europe.
