I was very pleased to host the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, my brother Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, and the valuable delegation in Istanbul. 🇹🇷 🇵🇰 In our meetings today, we exchanged views on regional and global issues, especially our bilateral relations. The whole world took a deep breath thanks to the calm provided by the Islamabad Consensus. We have supported and continue to support every step that will contribute to reducing tension in our region and solving problems through diplomacy. We carefully follow the Israeli administration's provocations to undermine the agreement. The current war-addicted Israeli government should not be allowed to drown our geography in the smell of gunpowder and blood again. Turkey wants a climate where all residents of the region live in peace and security, regardless of their faith. We make every effort to establish such a climate. We will continue to work in solidarity with brother countries, especially Pakistan, to strengthen peace, stability and prosperity in our region. Our solidarity with Pakistan continues in every field. We confirmed our goal of increasing our trade volume to the level of 5 billion dollars that we previously determined. We want to deepen our cooperation with Pakistan in the fields of energy, transportation, critical minerals and information technologies. Our cooperation in the field of defense industry, one of the most important elements of our economic relations, is developing day by day with new projects. I believe that these projects, which we are implementing step by step, will strengthen Pakistan's strength.
