He is accompanied by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umar, Federal Minister for Planning Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar, Adviser to PM on Commerce, Textile, Industry and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood and foreign secretary Tehmina Janjua.

The premier and the Turkish president are expected to discuss the Afghan peace process, bilateral relations as well as regional and international situation.

PM Imran is also expected to address a business forum and hold meetings with Turkish businessmen and potential investors during his visit to the country.  The visit is set to help explore new avenues of cooperation and collaboration between the two countries, particularly in the areas of economic, trade and commercial relations.
