Pakistan and Turkey have always supported one another during challenging times and will continue to do so, according to Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.
In an X post marking the two-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Turkey, he claimed that the people of Pakistan joined him in honoring the bravery and tenacity of our Turkish brothers and sisters, who, under President Erdogan’s capable leadership, came out stronger as a result of this tactic.
Today marks two years since the February 6, 2023, earthquake that destroyed entire cities and killed about 60,000 people, including in neighboring Syria.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck at 4:17 am in Southeastern Turkey caused thousands of residential buildings to collapse, killing several people in their wake.
