Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Antalya and took part in the fifth Antalya Diplomacy Forum (an annual international dialogue event held in Turkey's southern resort city), where he joined a leaders' panel discussing global uncertainty. The visit is the third stop on a regional tour that has already taken him to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, where he held talks focused on Middle East peace efforts and US-Iran negotiations that Pakistan has helped broker. Sharif briefed Erdoğan on ongoing de-escalation efforts in the Middle East and is expected to meet other world leaders on the sidelines of the forum.
