The special relationship between Pakistan and Turkey must be transformed into a strategic partnership encompassing all dimensions of bilateral relations; President of Pakistan Mr. Mamnoon Hussain said this while welcoming H.E. Ahmet Davutoglu on his first visit to Pakistan as Turkey’s Prime Minister, who called on him here at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Tuesday.
Congratulating the visiting dignitary on assumption of the office of Turkish Prime Minister, the President emphasized on translating the existing cordiality and goodwill between the two countries into a mutually beneficial robust economic partnership. The President underlined the need to ensure greater interface between the private sectors of both countries for promotion of investment and further deepening of trade relations. The Business Forum held today is an important element of this process. Such interface should take place on a regular basis and yield concrete results, added the President.
The President highlighted that leading Turkish companies are increasingly becoming involved in projects in Pakistan. He expressed hope that more companies would be urged to invest in key priority sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, communications, low cost housing and municipal services.
The Turkish Prime Minister categorically stated that in terms of friendship Pakistan is the topmost priority of Turkey and assured his continued support for Pakistan in future.
