ISLAMABAD: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gifted a model of the Turkish homegrown electric vehicle Togg to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during his two-day visit to Islamabad this week.
Erdogan gifted Sharif the T10X model Togg SUV, with a video clip showing both leaders examining the SUV’s black exterior. Sharif can be seen in the video, sitting behind the wheel with Erdogan beside him in the passenger seat as the Pakistani premier drove it.
Later, First Lady Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari drove Erdogan and her father, President Asif Ali Zardari, in a Togg SUV as media persons watched.
“I thank my dear brother President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and my respected sister Madam Emine Erdogan, for honoring us with their gracious presence and for bringing along a high-powered delegation from Turkiye,” Sharif wrote on social media platform X on Thursday after the Turkish president departed.
Pakistan was Erdogan’s third stop in his three-nation Asia tour this week. In his first two stops in Malaysia and Indonesia, Erdogan gifted a similar model of the electric vehicle to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
Pakistan and Türkiye signed 24 agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) on Thursday as Erdogan arrived in the country to discuss how to boost trade and economic ties between the two nations.
Erdogan said he had also held extensive discussions with the Pakistani prime minister on bilateral, regional and global issues.
