President Erdogan expressed deep condolences over the loss of lives and property caused by the ongoing floods in different parts of Pakistan. He assured that Turkiye stands firmly with the people of Pakistan during this difficult time.
The two leaders also discussed key regional and global developments. They voiced serious concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and reaffirmed their commitment to use international forums to defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and to strongly condemn Israeli aggression and genocidal policies.
