President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan praised Pakistan’s peace initiative to end the Gulf conflict and commended Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his leadership in pursuing efforts to halt hostilities, according to a statement from Pakistan’s Prime Minister’s Office.

During a phone call, Erdoğan conveyed his congratulations to Sharif over what he described as a historic initiative aimed at ending the conflict in the region. He praised the Pakistani leader’s “bold and sagacious” leadership in advancing diplomatic efforts to stop a war that has caused widespread human suffering and extensive damage to infrastructure.

Erdoğan also reaffirmed Türkiye’s full support for Pakistan’s efforts to restore peace and stability in the region.

Sharif expressed gratitude for Erdoğan’s support and endorsement, reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to promoting peace and stability both regionally and globally.

The two leaders held what officials described as a warm and cordial conversation, underscoring close ties between Türkiye and Pakistan.
