According to security sources, the Field Marshal received a warm welcome on his arrival. His meetings will focus on matters of mutual interest, including regional security and bilateral defence cooperation.

State-run Pakistan Television and the Associated Press of Pakistan also confirmed the visit and the scheduled meetings.

The visit comes weeks after General Metin Tokel, commander of the Turkish Land Forces, travelled to Pakistan and held talks with Field Marshal Munir.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the two sides discussed the evolving regional security environment and explored ways to further strengthen bilateral defence cooperation. During the visit, General Tokel also met Pakistan’s naval and air chiefs.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Turkiye, where discussions with the Turkish leadership centred on expanding economic, trade and strategic cooperation, underscoring the growing partnership between the two countries.
