Remarks of Foreign Minister of Pakistan at Ataturk Mausoleum on 11 August 2011

"It is a great honour for me to pay homage today to Ghazi Mustafa Kamal Pasha, one of the greatest statesmen of our time. Ataturk's vision and espousal of democratıc and progressive values laid the foundation of a modern Turkey.

Turkey and Pakistan share the same ideals and strive for common goals.  I have no doubt that together we will march along the road to greater progress and prosperity and achive our common destinies.

Long live Pakistan - Turkey friendship"

Hina Rabbani Khar
