China has strong military bond with Pakistan. Recently China pledged to invest USD 47 billion in Pakistan.
Turkey is a friend of Pakistan for a long period of time.
Why doesn't Pakistan have any long term strong partnership with Turkey in the trade or military sectors like China does? Why doesn't Pakistan get Turkey to invest in Pakistan? Why doesn't Pakistan buy lots of Turkish made military equipments? For instance, Pakistan could have bought T-129 helicopters instead of Mi-28 from Russia.
You must understand that Turkey is a member of NATO. There is only so much it can do. Additionally, Turkey's foreign policy has been a disaster under Erdogan. It has lost more friends than gained. Turkey tried to gain influence in Afghanistan, but that is no longer to be seen now. While there are certainly no fractures between Turkey and Pakistan, the relationship seems to be dormant when compared to before. The relationship was once robust but now it is different. Turkey's priorities differ from those of Pakistan's with respect to Afghanistan. The Turks support(ed) the Northern Alliance and Pakistan support the Taliban. Again Turkey has indulged the Uyghurs of China, probably at the behest of NATO and their own nationalist feelings, Pakistan doesn't want to get involved. This has probably created the greater differences.
Both nations are founding members of ECO (Economic Cooperation Organization). They also both belong to D-8 (Developing 8 Countries). They've worked on a preferential trading agreement, bilateral trade had grown to nearly $1 billion in 2010, and a container train service connecting Islamabad and Istanbul opened in 2009. There are plans for a passenger train service.
Pakistan and Turkey have long standing military cooperation dating back to 1954, they both belonged to CENTO from 1955 to 1979 when the treaty was dissolved after Iran withdrew, and Turkey supports Pakistan in the Kashmir conflict. Both nations belong to the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation).
I would challenge the assertion that Pakistan and Turkey do not have meaningful trade or military cooperation, particularly given that there's about 2,000 miles between them.
Some good reasons there are:
