On Friday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif proposed expanding Turkiye and including it in the multibillion dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Speaking at a launching ceremony for PNS Badr, the third ship under Turkey’s National Naval Project (MILGEM) in Karachi, Sharif said turning CPEC into a trilateral project with Pakistan, Turkiye, and China would be advantageous to the region.
