Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Istanbul on Sunday and said the two countries would strive to boost cooperation, particularly in defense, energy and transportation, Erdogan's office said. Turkey has strong ties with Pakistan, both being largely Muslim countries and sharing historical links, and expressed solidarity with it during its recent clashes with India. Erdogan's office said he told Sharif it was in the interest of Turkey and Pakistan to increase solidarity in education, intelligence sharing and technological support in the fight against terrorism. Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Defense Minister Yasar Guler and intelligence agency chief Ibrahim Kalin also attended the meeting.
