Ankara will continue to stand in solidarity with Pakistan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Friday.
"Turkey stands with Pakistan today and tomorrow, as it did yesterday, and will continue to stand with it," Erdoğan told a joint news conference with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan at the presidential complex in the capital Ankara.
Erdoğan also said Turkey's "Pakistani brothers" also stand in strong solidarity with Ankara.
Erdoğan also praised a recent Pakistani Supreme Court ruling recognizing the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) as a terror group.
"The declaration of FETO as a terrorist group by the Supreme Court in Pakistan and delivery of the [FETO-linked] schools to our Maarif Foundation...These are welcome steps," he added.
Turkey established the Maarif Foundation in 2016 to assume the administration of overseas schools linked to FETO. It also establishes more schools and education centers abroad.
