She underlined the bilateral relations between Pakistan and Turkey are touching new heights under the leadership of Imran Khan and Tayyip Erdogan.
People of Pakistan hold Turkish leadership and people of Turkey in high esteem in their hearts for extending wholehearted support by Turkey to Pakistan in the UN General Assembly on Kashmir issue. We express gratitude to Turkey over its principled stand on Indian Occupied Kashmir.
It is to be noted that Turkey and Malaysia have given strong support to Pakistan after India’s revocation of Article 35 and Kashmiri statehood. Both countries have received a stringent backlash from India for this. In the case of Malaysia – India has stated it will stop importing palm oil from the country to which the PM Imran Khan during Mahathir’s recent visit said Pakistan would do as much as it could to make up for this.
