Turkey And Pakistan To Perform Joint Military Exercise

It is good to have close links with a NATO member. Pakistan should try to get NATO membership. With Eastwards expansion in Europe, and NATO’s strong presence in Afghanistan means that Pakistan should become part of NATO as soon as possible.

It will help Pak army to modernize and let them concentrate on military affairs instead of worrying too much about managing civilians.

That's good news. Turkey and Pakistan already enjoy good relations, this will definately serve to boost those ties. NATO recently acknowledged Pakistan's efforts in its aid in Afghanistan as well.

I hope such joint exercises continue.
