The Chief Minister said that immortal historic relations exist between Pakistan and Turkey; while the people of both the countries are conjoined twins and their hearts beat in unison.

He said that strong relations of mutual respect exist between the people of both the countries and this bilateral friendship is getting stronger with every passing moment.

He commended the Turkish leadership for adopting a solid view point with regard to occupied Bait-ul-Muqaddas and added that Turkish leadership has profusely represented the sentiments of the Muslim-world by adopting such point of view.

The Mayor of Istanbul said that cooperation with the Punjab government will be further expanded in different sectors and this cooperation will be continued for improving the civic amenities.

He said that Shehbaz Sharif has done the exemplary work for the development of the province and we also acknowledge this hard work and passion of the Chief Minister.
