Both countries are struggling with terrorism
Both Pakistan and Turkish countries are struggling with the problem of terrorism. While Pakistan is troubled by Baloch rebels and TTP terrorists, Turkish Kurdish separatists are becoming two-four. In such a situation, in addition to increasing security cooperation between the two countries, Pakistan-Turkish is the second round of anti-terrorism counseling, which has been held in Islamabad after about 6 years. In this, many issues like stopping the funding of terrorism, preventing extremism and controlling online extremism were discussed.
Turkish foreign policy showed a big change
Recently there has been a big change in Türkiye’s foreign policy. While Turkey is constantly increasing its defense cooperation with Pakistan, it does not want to spoil its relations with India. For example, in September 2024, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) does not mention Kashmir in the speech given by Khalifa Erdogan, which shows a big change from his previous speeches. However, Türkiye’s intention is clear behind it. Actually, Turkish BRICS wishes to join the organization, so he does not want to mess with India.
