I really hope that the relationship between the two natural allies Pakistan and Turkey prosper under the leadership of President Erdogan and Prime Minister Nawaz. The two countries share the same opinion and view about most international issues and are eager to cooperate in areas of mutual concern. God Speed to the New Axis.

its not normal after , Turk decided to fight IS now they will definitely come to Pakistan for cooperation as Pakistan has long experience in fighting against terrorism , Pakistan wont benefit only other countries with his experience but will also stand more strong after all this terrorism. But unluckily our desperate neighbor still wondering how to get attention.

Time to explore joint venture with Turkey, projects of mutual benefit. May be involve Turkey in construction of iranian gas pipeline or CPEC-economic corridor construction projects. May be make a stronger RCD road & railway link (Turkey-Iran-Pakistan) for increased import/export corridor to middle east and europe to achieve better standard of living for people of the region.

We need to strengthen our relations with our Turkish brothers given the fast changing global developments. Turkish republic and Pakistan can play a pivtol role in the new alliances being forged, given that occuiped America is no longer a super power but still a significant (and nuclear armed and very dangerous) world player.
