Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan visit to Pakistan postponed indefinitely

*ISLAMABAD: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to Pakistan has been deferred and it is likely that he would be visiting Pakistan now in third quarter of this year.*

It is third deferment of the visit as Prime Minister Imran Khan visited Turkey in the first week of January this year and invited Turkish President for visiting Pakistan. The invitation was accepted by him.

Former State Minster for Interior Sheharyar Khan Afridi in his stay in Istanbul in February last announced that Tayyip Erdogan will visit Pakistan in March but it couldn’t materialise.

Pakistan has to host Pakistan-Turkey High Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC) meeting supposed to be held early this year in Islamabad where some significant projects and plans were to be approved.

The Turkish President had announced that he would bring a big delegation of investors with him in his visit to Pakistan.

Turkish President has not given any fresh schedule for his trip to Pakistan although the two capitals are trying very hard to workout dates and details of the visit through diplomatic channels.
