Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport.

The leaders held talks at the State Guesthouse just before Erdogan’s departure for Malaysia.

Zardari, preparing to leave Turkiye, used the opportunity to discuss key matters with Erdogan prior to a scheduled press conference.

Details of their conversation remain undisclosed, but the meeting underscores the strong diplomatic relationship between Turkiye and Pakistan.
