Baku: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir held talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The leaders reviewed all aspects of bilateral relations between Pakistan and Turkey and expressed a shared commitment to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region and across the Muslim world.

During the meeting, both sides agreed on a forthcoming visit by a Turkish ministerial delegation to Pakistan.

Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the Pakistan-Turkey friendship reflects the strength of deep and enduring ties between the two countries.

Earlier, Türkiye has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over charges of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The warrant was issued by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, which accused Netanyahu of committing crimes against humanity amid Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.

The order calls for Netanyahu’s detention “wherever he is found” and demands that he be treated as a war criminal.

Netanyahu and his government have faced global condemnation for their actions in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians have been killed. Even countries traditionally supportive of Israel have spoken out against the brutality and destruction.

Despite the growing criticism, Netanyahu’s administration remains defiant, continuing military operations in Gaza.
