Cooperation between Türkiye and Pakistan is expected to develop into a lasting, value-based model focused on sustainable development and joint value creation, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Ankara, Yousaf Junaid, said at the launch of a new bilateral vision report in Istanbul.
The Türkiye–Pakistan Future Cooperation Vision Report, prepared in collaboration with the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEIK), the Türkiye–Pakistan Business Council, and PwC Türkiye, was unveiled at a meeting attended by the ambassador.
Following opening remarks, a panel titled “The Success of the Turkish Business Community in Pakistan and Its Future Potential” examined Turkish companies’ operations, long-term strategies and emerging investment opportunities in Pakistan.
The report emphasizes Pakistan’s strong potential for Turkish businesses and outlines strategic partnership opportunities between the two countries, aiming to guide the business community on trade and investment prospects.
Junaid said the report offers an independent, private sector-focused perspective and presents actionable pathways for cooperation, supported by DEIK and PwC’s analytical contributions.
Addressing the meeting, Junaid said Türkiye and Pakistan continue to extend a “hand of brotherhood” to each other, strengthening ties based on shared values, mutual respect and a long-standing legacy of goodwill.
He said the two countries have provided consistent support during regional challenges and natural disasters, a tradition that has evolved into deeper economic cooperation.
He noted growing collaboration across sectors, including agriculture, textiles, manufacturing, infrastructure and energy.
“These joint efforts reflect our shared commitment to sustainable growth, economic diversification and long-term prosperity,” Junaid said.
DEIK Türkiye–Pakistan Business Council Chair Atilla Demir Yerlikaya said Pakistan is among the most significant emerging markets of the coming decades due to its strategic location, young population and long-term growth potential.
He said Pakistan’s population is projected to reach 372 million by 2050, making it the world’s fourth most populous country.
With a median age below 23, Yerlikaya said the country offers a strong labor force and a large, STEM-oriented graduate pool.
Yerlikaya also pointed to more than $100 billion in projected additional growth in food and nonalcoholic beverage spending, highlighting opportunities for Turkish companies, particularly in fast-moving consumer goods.
