In a significant move to strengthen bilateral ties, Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced that the country will offer a free online visa facility to Turkish nationals starting August 14. This decision was made during a meeting with Turkish Ambassador Dr. Mehmet Paçaci, where they discussed various mutual interests and areas of cooperation.
The new online visa facility aims to simplify the process for Turkish nationals visiting Pakistan, promoting tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between the two countries. This move is a testament to the long-standing religious, cultural, and trade ties between Pakistan and Turkey, which have been fostered over the years.
During the meeting, both parties agreed to strengthen collaboration in the security, police, and civil armed forces sectors. Interior Minister Naqvi also announced his plans to visit Turkey in October at the invitation of the Turkish Government, where productive steps will be proposed to increase cooperation.
The meeting also discussed the release of Pakistani prisoners held in Turkish jails, and it was agreed to soon finalize the agreement in this regard. Turkish Ambassador Dr. Mehmet Pacaci emphasized Turkey’s importance on the brotherly relations with Pakistan and pledged to continue cooperation in various fields.
This development is a significant step forward in strengthening the ties between Pakistan and Turkey. The free online visa facility will not only promote tourism but also enhance business and cultural exchange between the two nations.
