PAKISTAN
Pakistani Ambassador to Ankara Yusuf Cuneyd hosted the Global Journalists Board (KGK) delegation at a special dinner at the Ambassador’s residence. KGK Chairman Mehmet Ali Dim, KGK Deputy Financial Leader Yakup Aslan, KGK Political Affairs Board Leader Deniz Bustani and KGK Mainstream Media Assembly Deputy Leader and International Cooperation Advisor Dr. Esra Ozturk attended the dinner where different flavors of Pakistani cuisine were served. Pakistani Ambassador Cuneyd explained his love for Turkey and how the interest between the two countries has deepened from history to the present. Cuneyd also said, “Our language, Urdu, comes from the word ordu. There are approximately 6 words of Turkish origin in the Urdu language. Our dishes are similar to each other; the only difference is the spices, and that is due to geographical reasons. Our brotherhood cannot be compared to any other country in the world.” Welcoming Ambassador Cuneyd’s sincere conversation, KGK Chairman Dim stated that the civil society cooperation in the media sector between Pakistan and Turkey should be developed to the same extent, and said, “A delegation of Turkish journalists and a delegation from Pakistan that will visit Pakistan in the coming days will be valuable in terms of developing the relations between the two countries and public diplomacy.” Ambassador Cuneyd welcomed this request and stated that the official process regarding this program will be initiated as soon as possible.
