Türkiye, together with Qatar, is mediating efforts to resolve the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Sunday, adding that senior Turkish officials are scheduled to visit Islamabad next week to discuss the tensions.
Erdoğan told reporters on his return flight from Azerbaijan that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Defense Minister Yasar Guler, and National Intelligence Organization chief Ibrahim Kalin will visit Islamabad in an effort to help end the conflict, according to the semi-official Anadolu Agency.
"Our goal is to put in place measures and mechanisms that will make the ceasefire sustainable and to permanently end terrorist incidents in the region," Erdoğan was quoted as saying.
