KARACHI: Turkey and Pakistan play very important roles in their respective regions and defence ties between the two countries are becoming ever closer. This was stated by Murad Bayar, Undersecretary for Defence Industries of the Republic of Turkey at a reception hosted last evening in his honour by Turkish Ambassador Babur Hizlan. The Turkish defence undersecretary is leading an 80-member and 13 companies’ delegation that is participating in the Ideas 2012 exhibition being held in Karachi.
