Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif says that promotion of defence cooperation between Pakistan and Türkiye is for peace, not for war or aggression
"Pakistan and Türkiye are deeply engaged in promoting our defence capabilities for peace, not for war or aggression, and as they say, if you want to live in peace, you must be prepared for war," Sharif said.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the third of four MILGEM corvette ships manufactured by Türkiye for the Pakistan Navy at the Istanbul Shipyard, Sharif thanked on Friday Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the people of Türkiye for always standing behind his country in every difficult time.
Sharif called Türkiye his second home and said, "Today is another great day in historical relations and brotherhood between the two countries."In July 2018, the Pakistan Navy signed a contract for the acquisition of four MILGEM-class ships with Türkiye's state-run defence firm ASFAT. "Recently, when Pakistan was hit by one of the most devastating floods and Türkiye again was in the front line. It was so kind [ when president Erdogan] called me that night and said, Shehbaz Sharif, what can I do for you, and what Türkiye can do for Pakistan," he recalled.
