The Prime Minister added that the relationship between Pakistan and Turkey is reaching new heights and that the two nations would continue to collaborate in a variety of fields.
The PNS Badar, a MILGEM-class corvette, is a sign of growing collaboration between Pakistan and Turkey, he added. He described it as a significant step toward self-sufficiency in the shipbuilding sector.
Pakistan's links with Turkey, according to Shehbaz Sharif, trace back to pre-independence periods, when Muslims from the Subcontinent began a drive in Turkey to establish a Caliphate.
He also appreciated the Turkish government and its people for their love and assistance through many natural disasters in Pakistan.
