Hailing Ankara’s longstanding ties with Islamabad, the Turkish president said his country is rapidly developing trilateral cooperation with Pakistan and Azerbaijan. “In addition to our bilateral cooperation, we also exchanged views on important regional and international issues on our common agenda,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a joint news conference with Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif. PM Sharif proposes extending the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), inviting Türkiye to join the multi-billion-dollar project.
