ISLAMABAD/TURKEY, PAKISTAN, FOREIGN MINISTER:
Pakistan and Turkey reaffirmed their commitment to continue joint efforts for a peaceful resolution of Afghan issue during a meeting between Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavasoglu in Ankara on Friday.
Both sides also discussed bilateral relations, promotion of trade and investment and other regional and international issues. The foreign minister noted that there was convergence of views between Pakistan and Turkey on important regional and international issues, including Kashmir and Afghanistan.
Qureshi apprised Cavasoglu of Pakistan's outreach efforts to most important neighbours and regional countries in the recent weeks, including Afghanistan, Iran, China, Russia and Qatar, said a statement issued by the Foreign Office in Islamabad.
Qureshi reiterated Pakistan’s desire to support and facilitate an inclusive Afghan-owned and Afghan-led process, which had “emerged as a notable convergence and shared objective of all, particularly Afghanistan's neighbours”.
Islamabad wants to see Turkish investment in the country: PM
Speaking on the occasion, Cavasoglu said that Pakistan had a central role to play in peace and stability in Afghanistan and Turkey acknowledged Islamabad’s efforts towards that end. He added that Pakistan and Turkey, as close partners, would continue their efforts to promote synergies on important issues.
The foreign minister appreciated Turkey's key role in strengthening the regional cooperation on Afghanistan through the Heart of Asia -- Istanbul process. He expressed satisfaction on the trajectory of bilateral relations, symbolised by unprecedented traditional warmth and affection, at the people’s level.
Expecting Turkish cooperation in economy, other areas: PM Imran
The two foreign ministers agreed that Pakistan and Turkey were situated at strategic locations in important regions and both faced similar challenges. They noted that the two countries had a lot to share and benefit from each other's experiences.
The foreign minister is accompanying Prime Minister Imran Khan on his two-day official visit to Turkey. The Turkish foreign minister was among the first dignitaries, who visited Islamabad in September, soon after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government took over.
