Türkiye Stands with Pakistan Amidst Flood Crisis
On a recent Sunday, Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed his heartfelt solidarity with Pakistan, a country grappling with the devastating aftermath of recent monsoon floods. These floods have tragically resulted in over 700 deaths and left nearly 1,000 individuals injured. As cited by Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the situation has none too kindly affected Punjab, displacing an alarming 750,000 people.
During a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, China, Erdoğan’s words were clear: Türkiye is ready to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Pakistan. The two leaders didn’t just touch on this humanitarian crisis — they also reflected on the burgeoning ties between their nations, noting progress in political, economic, defense, and security cooperation.
Both heads of state expressed shared concerns regarding other pressing global issues, including the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. They committed to advocating for the rights of Palestinians and condemning acts of aggression, reinforcing the fraternal ties that bind Pakistan and Türkiye.
As PM Shehbaz attends the SCO summit with a delegation, he is not only shedding light on Pakistan’s viewpoint on regional and global matters but also exploring collaborative strategies to counter natural calamities. His visit to the National Earthquake Simulation Center highlighted his intent to harness advanced technologies from China for better disaster management in Pakistan.
