Türkiye's relations with Pakistan have developed on the basis of close friendship and brotherhood since the establishment of Pakistan as an independent state on 14 August 1947. 2022 marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Pakistan.

The support extended by the Muslims of the sub-continent to the Turkish War of Independence has a special place in the minds of the Turkish people. Türkiye’s success in establishing a modern state after the war has been a source of inspiration for the Pakistani people.

Following the establishment of Pakistan, reciprocal high-level visits developed friendly relations further, while the two countries' support for each other in getting through most difficult challenges such as at times of natural disasters led to deepening of close relations between the peoples. The relations between the two countries have been institutionalized with the establishment of the High Level Cooperation Council in 2009, which was later upgraded to the level of High Level Strategic Cooperation Council (HLSCC).
