ISLAMABAD, 3 March, 2021 (TON): A defense agreement is to be penned between Turkey and Pakistan that would open doors for Pakistan to co-manufacture missiles and fighter jets.

The reports revealed that both the countries are into meetings over the past few months to discuss the prospects of military hardware manufacturing and development.

"Officials from both sides have confirmed that the meetings did take place in January but did not comment on whether any deal was reached between the two countries on when another such meeting will take place," claimed the report.

Ankara sees Islamabad as a strategic ally and a potential partner in developing its Super-long-range missile defense project and TF-X fighter jets," told Turkish officials.

However, eyeing on the agreement it would also provide Istanbul a gateway to be part of the Thunder jets that Pakistan manufactures with China and collaborate in the defense projects with Pak.
