ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar engaged in a telephonic conversation with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, to deliberate on the rapidly evolving regional landscape and reaffirm the two countries’ shared commitment to deepening bilateral relations. The call, confirmed by Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson, reflected both ministers’ intention to coordinate more closely amid a complex geopolitical environment.
During their exchange, Ishaq Dar and Hakan Fidan reviewed recent regional developments and agreed on the necessity of enhancing cooperation on issues of mutual concern. Both emphasised the importance of joint diplomatic efforts aimed at fostering peace and stability across the region, underlining that their countries must work in tandem to meet common challenges.
This renewed commitment to partnership comes at a time when tensions between India and Turkey have surfaced, with New Delhi reportedly threatening to curtail trade ties and suspend operations of a Turkish company involved with Indian airports. Against this backdrop, Pakistan and Turkey appear eager to strengthen their strategic alliance, sending a clear message of solidarity in the face of regional friction.
The conversation between the foreign ministers underlined Islamabad and Ankara’s determination to build closer cooperation not only on diplomatic matters but also on broader strategic fronts. As regional dynamics shift, this dialogue signals an intention to maintain a united front in promoting stability and addressing shared security concerns in South Asia and beyond.
