Turkey's Deputy Interior Minister Ismail Catakli met Interior Minister Ijaz Shah in Islamabad along with a four-member delegation, a statement by the Interior Ministry said.
Turkish Ambassador to Pakistan Mustafa Ihsan Yurdakul was also present in the meeting.
Gatalki said that as the two brotherly nations faced similar issues, it was easier to expand cooperation between the governments, and enhance people-to-people contacts.
Ankara could learn from Islamabad in handling the matters in question, he added.
Shah, for his part, said his ministry had devised a system to keep a check on illegal migrants, which was "successfully working".
