Türkiye's relations with Pakistan have been shaped on the basis of close friendship and brotherhood since the establishment of Pakistan as an independent state on 14 August 1947.

The support of the Muslims of the subcontinent to the Turkish War of Independence has a special place in minds. Struggle for independence and the success of establishing a modern state of Turkish people have also been a source of inspiration for the people of Pakistan.

After the establishment of Pakistan, friendly relations were developed through high-level visits, while the two countries' support for each other in the most difficult times such as natural disasters enabled these close relations to be established at the level of the peoples. The relations between the two countries have been institutionalized through the mechanism established as the High Level Cooperation Council in 2009 and later raised to the level of the High Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC). Sixth Session of HLSCC meeting was held in Islamabad on the occasion of the visit of President of the Republic of Türkiye to Pakistan on 13-14 February 2020. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with President Dr. Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Han, addressed the Senate-National Assembly joint session and attended the Türkiye-Pakistan Business Forum organized by DEIK. On the occasion of the visit, 13 documents were signed, including the HLSCC Joint Statement and the Strategic Economic Framework (SEF), which is the outline for bilateral economic relations.

The number of documents signed with Pakistan within the scope of the HLSCC mechanism has reached seventy-three (73). These agreements in a wide range, are not only an expression of our multifaceted relations, but also reflect the common will to develop these relations effectively by placing them on an institutional and contractual basis. Türkiye and Pakistan also support each other on international platforms.

Mutual high-level visits contributed significantly to the development of bilateral relations. In this context, President of the Republic of Turkey paid an official visit to Pakistan on 16-17 November 2016 and also attended the ECO Summit held in Islamabad between February 28 and March 1, 2017.
