The visit aimed to build on the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in 2022 and sustain momentum in high-level exchanges between the two countries, which have maintained diplomatic relations since 1964. During the visit, Zahid met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss plans to increase bilateral trade from US$5.6 billion in 2025 to US$10 billion by 2030, as well as cooperation in investment, defence, technology transfer, technical and vocational education, halal development, and disaster management.",
