Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan touched down in Pakistan for a two-day official visit and got a warm welcome at the Prime Minister’s House. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and First Lady Emine Erdogan greeted him with a formal salute, and then they played the national anthems of both countries.
PM Shehbaz introduced Erdogan to the members of the federal cabinet, and the Turkish president brought along a delegation that included important ministers, investors, and business leaders. General Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff, had a meeting with Erdogan, and there was an F-16 flyover to honor him.
So, earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari and PM Shehbaz welcomed Erdogan at Noor Khan Airbase, and he received a 21-gun salute there. He’s visiting to boost the relationship between Pakistan and Türkiye, especially when it comes to working together economically.
Erdogan will also speak at the Pakistan-Türkiye Business and Investment Forum, where business leaders from both countries will be present. The HLSCC, which helps steer cooperation between countries in various areas, last got together in 2020.
