LAHORE: The fresh agreements and the memorandums of understanding signed by the premiers of Pakistan and Turkey at the Pak-Turk High Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting is another feather in the cap of exemplary relations enjoyed by two brotherly nations. Turkey is one of the most consistent allies of Pakistan and has supported Pakistan in its fight against terrorism by extending every possible help.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davotoglu’s statement that “Pakistan’s security is Turkey’s security” and his announcement of $ 20 million for the assistance of internally displaced persons shows his level of commitment for ensuring security and stability in Pakistan. The Turkish government’s financial and technical help enabled the Punjab government to launch various infrastructure projects, including the Metro bus project and waste management initiatives. The commitment of both countries to increase trade in the next five years will bring a new era of peace and prosperity in Pakistan.
