ISLAMABAD ( WNAM REPORT ): Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said that brotherly ties between Pakistan and Türkiye were on a high trajectory, with both nations steadily strengthening cooperation in the fields of economy, defense, and strategic partnership.
Addressing a ceremony marking the 102nd Republic Day of Türkiye, the prime minister said the occasion symbolized the unbreakable bond between the two brotherly nations and their shared journey of progress, resilience, and mutual respect.
He said Pakistan joined its Turkish brothers and sisters in celebrating the historic day when Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk laid the foundations of modern Türkiye, adding that “the fluttering Turkish flags across Islamabad reflect that our hearts beat in unison with our Turkish brothers and sisters.”
The event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, federal ministers, parliamentarians, diplomats, and senior officials.
PM Shehbaz Sharif paid glowing tribute to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, describing him as “a leading light of progress, prosperity, and resilience — not only for his own people but for the entire Muslim world.” Such achievements, he noted, were a testament to President Erdoğan’s dynamic and determined leadership.
The prime minister said that modern Türkiye reflected a harmonious blend of progress, culture, and civilization, setting an inspiring example for the Muslim Ummah.
