Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif received a phone call this evening from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
During the call, the Prime Minister expressed his sincere gratitude for Turkiye’s support and solidarity with Pakistan in the wake of India’s unprovoked aggression.
He informed President Erdogan that India’s cowardly violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity has seriously threatened regional peace and stability, and such actions are intolerable.
The Prime Minister reiterated Pakistan’s dedication to regional peace but made clear that the country will vigorously defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He emphasized that Pakistan outright rejected India’s baseless attempt to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam incident, especially as no evidence was provided.
He added that instead of responding to Pakistan’s proposal for an impartial and transparent international inquiry, India opted for hostile actions and demonstrated reckless behavior as a state.
President Erdogan reaffirmed Turkiye’s steadfast support for the Pakistani people and commended Pakistan’s efforts toward promoting peace in South Asia.
He also extended sincere condolences over the tragic loss of Pakistani lives.
President Erdogan expressed Turkiye’s backing for de-escalation efforts and offered to assist as a devoted ally, noting that the Turkish people are hopeful for the success of Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts.
