PML-N President and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has warmly welcomed Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan on his arrival in Pakistan.

In his welcome message, Shehbaz said President Erdogan is a symbol of integrity and courage of the Muslim Ummah. He said the entire Pakistani nation welcomes the Turkish President who has always been a trusted friend of the country.

Shehbaz said he was not able to meet Erdogan on his visit to Pakistan because he is in England to look after Nawaz Sharif who is going through extensive treatment for his multiple medical complications. He said Nawaz Sharif, PML-N and the entire nation wish the Turkish President well for his stay in the country.

He said Turkey and Pakistan are trusted brotherly countries. He said the two nations share vehement love, unity, and trust for each other. He said Pakistan is especially indebted to Turkey for its unwavering support and uncompromising stance for Pakistan's position on the issue of Indian Occupied Kashmir. This, Shehbaz said, is a proof of the courageous Turkey's leadership and the devotion and commitment of Turkish people.
