Prime Minister Imran Khan, who travelled to Turkey on a two-day official visit, said it was high time that Pakistan and Turkey took their bilateral trade to a high level, citing Pakistan's ideal geo-strategic location and its huge potential for investment in infrastructure and tourism.

He said as Pakistan was undertaking huge connectivity projects under China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the issue of huge distance impeding Pak-Turkish trade would be resolved.

Addressing a joint news conference with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Friday, Imran Khan said Pakistan wants to learn from Turkey's experience in housing, health, and education sectors for the benefit of common people.

Prior to landing in the Turkish capital, Imran Khan visited Turkish city of Konya where he visited the tomb of renowned jurists and Islamic scholar Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and laid a wreath at the grave.
