Speech by Ambassador of Pakistan at a reception to mark the Defence & Martyrs Day of Pakistan at Ankara on 6 September 2018

Honourable Chief Guest, 
Excellencies, 
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you very much indeed for your presence amongst us here today. 

Today, 6th September, is the day that is dedicated each year to the memory of those martyrs, who gave ultimate sacrifice in defence of their homeland and what it stands for. 

It is also a day for expressing our deepest gratitude and respect to all those fathers and mothers; sons and daughters; husbands and wives; and friends and comrades in arms – who lost their love ones and whose loved ones continue to persevere in the line of duty in defence of the nation. 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As we pay tribute to our own martyrs, let me also pay my heartfelt respects to the martyrs of the Turkish nation – from the battlefield of Canakkale, to those who laid down their lives on 15 July 2016, and to all those who continue to stand in defence of their motherland. 

Pakistan-Turkey brotherhood Zindabad. 

Pakistan Paindabad.
