Türkiye will diversify and deepen its defense industry cooperation with Kazakhstan on a win-win basis, the head of Türkiye’s Secretariat of Defense Industries said on Wednesday.

Haluk Gorgun made the remarks in a social media post on NSosyal after attending talks at the Presidential Complex in Ankara, where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hosted Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and his delegation, The Caspian Post reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

Describing defense industry cooperation as a key pillar of bilateral relations with Kazakhstan, Gorgun said Türkiye is a reliable, long-term partner, supported by an ecosystem developed over the past 25 years under Erdogan’s vision.

He also highlighted Türkiye’s competitive defense products and policies designed to support joint production with partner countries.

“We will diversify and deepen our areas of cooperation with friendly and brotherly Kazakhstan within the framework of a win-win approach,” Gorgun said.

“We view every step that brings together the expertise of our countries as a valuable contribution to the security and prosperity of the Turkic world,” he added.
