In pictures: Imran Khan's maiden visit to Turkey after becoming PM
PM Khan went to Konya where he visited tomb of renowned scholar Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and laid a wreath at the grave.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, who travelled to Turkey on a two-day official visit, said it was high time that Pakistan and Turkey took their bilateral trade to a high level, citing Pakistan's ideal geo-strategic location and its huge potential for investment in infrastructure and tourism.
He said as Pakistan was undertaking huge connectivity projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the issue of huge distance impeding Pak-Turkish trade would be resolved.
Addressing a joint news conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Friday, Imran Khan said Pakistan wants to learn from Turkey's experience in housing, health, and education sectors for the benefit of common people.
Prior to landing in the Turkish capital, Imran Khan visited Turkish city of Konya where he visited the tomb of renowned jurists and Islamic scholar Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and laid a wreath at the grave.

Erdogan, in spite of being part of NATO is not towing the US line. IK should establish strong and mutually beneficial relationship with Turkey. The key element to bring Pakistan on par with Turkey is to end the Mullaha brigade blackmail. Here Pakistan can learn a lot from Turkey.....

Pakistan has created many legends and IK is one of them. It is very obvious from the pictures and his demeanor that he is a proud Pakistani and only cares about Pakistan.
One can see in his eyes which very clearly speak that if you don't like Pakistan then damn with you. I sincerely hope that with IK, Pak has laid the foundation for naya Pakistan, which will enable many more great leaders to follow.
