Prime Minister Imran Khan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday addressed a joint press conference in Islamabad after the two countries signed a number of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) for cooperation in various areas.
In his speech, Prime Minister Imran said people had greatly liked President Erdogan’s speech earlier today during a joint session of the parliament. He reiterated that if the Turkish leader fought an election from Pakistan, he would do a “clean sweep”.
He thanked Erdogan, who was on a two-day visit to Pakistan, on the country’s behalf for speaking up against Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir.
He noted that at least eight million Kashmiris have been under Indian siege for over six months, while Kashmiri leaders have been put in jail. “They have no rights … they are living in fear,” he added.
