December 03, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan and Turkey have strengthened their
bilateral energy cooperation with the exchange of Memorandums of
Understanding and petroleum concession agreements, covering key offshore

Sukhpur-II, Deep C, and Offshore Deep F.
These agreements mark a major milestone in exploration and

sustainable development, according to a press release issued.
As Turkey’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, called on Prime
Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif at the Prime Minister House during his

partnerships and expanding Turkish investment in Pakistan’s energy market.
The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction with the positive
trajectory of bilateral relations and emphasized the importance of cooperation
in energy, petroleum, and mineral sectors.
Both leaders highlighted the growing role of Turkish
Petroleum in Pakistan’s offshore and onshore exploration activities,
describing it as a key milestone in bilateral energy collaboration.
They also agreed that a Pakistani ministerial delegation

Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Minister for Petroleum Ali
Pervaiz Malik, Minister for Power Sardar Awais Khan Leghari, Special
