The prime minister expressed these views as he handed over the relief goods, mainly the winterised tents, to the Turkish officials during his visit to Adiayman city of Turkiye.

A special aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force transported relief goods to Adiyaman city, the most-affected area in southeast Turkiye that suffered heavy damage from the earthquake of Feb 6.

The prime minister interacted with the victims of the earthquake, who lost their families, and conveyed to them sympathies on behalf of the Pakistani nation. He assured the Turkish government and the affected people that Pakistan would extend every possible cooperation to the brotherly country to cope with the devastation. He said Turkiye was a friend and brotherly country of Pakistan and hoped that it would overcome the challenging times with resilience.
