Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Pakistan on a two-day visit, accompanied by a high-level delegation, which included ministers, senior officials, and prominent business personalities.
During his stay, President Erdoğan was expected to hold significant talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari.
According to sources, discussions would revolve around strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.
PM Shehbaz and the Turkish president will chair the seventh meeting of the Pakistan-Turkiye High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC).
President Erdogan was scheduled to address the Pakistan-Turkey Business and Investment Forum. President Erdogan was warmly greeted at the Noor Khan Airbase by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
A ceremonial 21-gun salute was fired in honour of President Erdogan's arrival, while schoolchildren, dressed in traditional attire, welcomed him with great enthusiasm. A military band also played traditionally to celebrate his visit.
Upon entering Pakistan's airspace, the Pakistan Air Force's JF-17 aircraft carried out an aerial salute, escorting the Turkish leader's plane into Islamabad with their protection.
