KARACHI:

Türkiye's Ambassador, Irfan Neziroglu, has announced efforts to boost Pakistan-Türkiye trade from $1.2 billion to $5 billion, following a meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Speaking at a meeting during his visit to the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), Neziroglu said, "In this regard, a high-level consultative strategic meeting will be held either in January or February next year to explore ways of how to effectively deal with barriers hindering trade between the two brotherly countries."

"Keeping in view the changing situation across the world, Türkiye and Pakistan must walk together as cooperation between the two countries has become a must," he said.
