By The South Asia Times

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, is on a high-level official visit to Türkiye, where he held meetings with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the country's top military leadership to strengthen bilateral defense cooperation and discuss regional security.

According to Pakistan's military media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the visit is aimed at further enhancing the longstanding strategic and defense partnership between the two countries.

During the visit, Munir met President Erdoğan and Turkish Minister of National Defence Yaşar Güler to discuss issues of mutual interest, regional security, and the evolving geopolitical landscape. The discussions highlighted the shared commitment of Pakistan and Türkiye to expanding their strategic partnership.

At the Turkish General Staff Headquarters, Munir was received with a guard of honor before holding detailed talks with General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu, Chief of the Turkish General Staff. The two military leaders exchanged views on regional security developments and professional military cooperation.

In recognition of his contribution to strengthening military ties between the two countries, Munir was awarded the Turkish Armed Forces Distinguished Service Medal by General Bayraktaroğlu.

The Pakistani army chief also visited the headquarters of the Turkish Land Forces, where he met Commander General Metin Tokel.

As part of the official program, Munir visited Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Türkiye, where he laid a floral wreath and paid tribute to Atatürk's legacy.

The ISPR said the visit reflects the commitment of both Pakistan and Türkiye to further deepen their multifaceted defense relationship and continue working together to promote regional peace, security, and stability.

Pakistan and Türkiye maintain close political, military, and economic ties, with the two countries regularly conducting joint military exercises, expanding defense-industrial cooperation, and coordinating on regional and international issues. The relationship has grown significantly in recent years through increased high-level exchanges and collaboration in defense technology and security.
