It was also revealed that the six-round Pakistan-Turkey High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC) will be held. This mechanism is the highest level of political consultation which Turkey has with other countries. These HLSCC work through Joint Working Groups which were formed for Pakistan in 2010.

Now, these JWGs will hold their meetings discussing i) Trade and Investment; ii) Energy; iii) Transport and Communication; iv) Culture and Tourism; v) Education, and vi) Finance and Banking according to The Express Tribune.

The textile exports have suffered between the two countries because of the protective duty imposed by Turkey which was up to 18%. This has led to a drop in trade volume from $1.08 billion to $792 million. However, this visit might open new opportunities as they expect.
