The Pakistani authorities are planning to sign an agreement with Turkey allowing dual citizenship for nationals of the two countries. The statement was made in the course of a meeting between Pakistan’s Interior Minister Ijaz Ahmad Shah and Turkish Ambassador to Pakistan Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul.
The Turkish ambassador suggested both countries should make an agreement to enable dual citizenship for Turkish and Pakistani citizens, respectively.
