Pakistan’s Prime Minister elect, Imran Khan, has hinted his support for Turkey in US-Turkey dispute.
In a tweet on his official Twitter account, Mr. Khan said: ‘On behalf of the people of Pakistan and myself, I want to let President Erdogan and the people of Turkey know we are praying for their success in dealing with the severe economic challenges confronting them, as they have always succeeded against adversities in their glorious history.’
The economic crisis in Turkey triggered as it got into a tiff with the United States for detaining a US pastor Andrew Brunson with the charges of espionage and connection with terror groups. US has since put sanctions on Turkey, including increased import tariffs on Aluminum and Steel from Turkey.
The Pakistan Foreign Office had also announced its support to Turkey while insisting on a conversation with the US to maintain peace and stability between the two nations.
