Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif held a detailed meeting with the Mayor of Istanbul Mr. Mevlut Uysal in Turkey on Wednesday.
According to a handout issued here, during the meeting, different matters of mutual interest, including extension of
cooperation in different sectors, for bringing further improvements in civic amenities came under discussion. Both
the leaders strongly condemned the US announcement of accepting occupied Bait-ul-Muqaddas as the Israeli capital.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had represented the sentiments of whole Muslim-world on the issue of occupied Bait-ul-Muqaddas.

Turkey is very dear to his heart.
“I am thankful to the Turkish leadership, as well as the people of Turkey, for providing extensive cooperation to
Pakistan in every sector along with their fullest support,” he said.
During the tenure of incumbent government of the Pakistan Muslim League-N, the brotherly relations between the
two countries have turned into useful economic cooperation, he added.
Pakistani people consider Turkey as their second-home and the Turkish people have the same feelings for Pakistan,
he said and added that Turkey has tremendously progressed during the tenure of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and
that Turkish people vehemently love their leader.
The Chief Minister said that immortal historic relations exist between Pakistan and Turkey; while the people of both
the countries are conjoined twins and their hearts beat in unison. He said that strong relations of mutual respect exist
between the people of both the countries and this bilateral friendship is getting stronger with every passing moment. He
commended the Turkish leadership for adopting a solid view point with regard to occupied Bait-ul-Muqaddas and added that Turkish leadership has profusely represented the sentiments of the Muslim-world by adopting such point of view.
