Pakistani air chief hails 'ever-available' Turkish support
ISLAMABAD, MAY 8: Pakistan's newly-appointed Air Force chief commended Turkey on Friday for its "ever-available" support to Islamabad on several key issues.
Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed
Baber Sidhu was speaking at a meeting with Turkey's Ambassador to Pakistan,
Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul, who called him at the Air Force headquarters in the
capital Islamabad, according to a statement by the Air Force.
The two discussed various matters
of mutual interest during the meeting which was the first between them, the
statement added.
Acknowledging Ankara's support,
Sidhu, who was appointed as air chief in March, said Turkey is one of the few
countries that has always "unequivocally" supported Pakistan.
The two countries' air forces, he
added, will continue to cooperate in every field.
For his part, Yurdakul extended
his felicitations to the air chief on assuming command of the Pakistani Air
Force, which he praised for its professionalism.
He said the peoples of both countries were "entwined" in a "long-lasting bond of brotherhood, complimented by common religion, culture and history," the statement added.
