H.E. Mr. Ismail Kahraman
H.E. Mr. Recep Akdağ
Distinguished guests
Ladies & Gentlemen,
We are really honoured by your presence here today at the Investiture Ceremony to confer Pakistani Civil Awards on the two eminent Turkish personalities. Both have played an outstanding role in further strengthening Pakistan-Turkey relations and the Pakistan and Turkey relationship is fortunate to have been nurtured by outstanding individuals like Mr. Ismail Kahraman and Mr. Recep Akdağ.
On a personal note, I am personally thankful to Mr. Ismail Kahraman for all his affection, kindness and guidanceto me. My every interaction with Mr. Ismail Kahraman had made me more convinced of the vision, maturity and sagacity of the Turkish leadership. With every interaction I also became more convinced that Pakistan-Turkey relationship has been nurtured by enormous efforts of our earlier generations and now the responsibility lies with us to further strengthen it and pass this sacred trust to our younger generations.
Similarly, in H.E. Mr. Recep Akdağ, I always saw a senior Turkish leader with great vision and understanding. I always learned from his wise advice and guidance but the most important thing was his will to work for and affection towards Pakistan. As the Minister of Health, he made outstanding contributions towards improving and reviving the health sector of Pakistan.
I am extremely pleased that in recognition of their outstanding contributions, the President of Pakistan has been honoured to confer Pakistani Civil Awards on the two Turkish dignitaries.
Thank You.
