“Pakistan and Turkey are bound by eternal friendship and brotherhood. The ties are getting stronger,” University of Health Sciences Vice Chancellor Prof IA Naveed said while welcoming a 9-member Turkish delegation at the UHS on Friday.

Prof Naveed said the people of Pakistan knew that Turkey had supported them in difficult times and, therefore, their hearts beat in unison with their Turkish brethren.
He said the rapid progress recorded by Turkey during recent decades was a model for Pakistan. He said the cooperation between Pakistan and Turkey especially in the Punjab, for the execution of welfare and development projects including transport and solid waste management projects was praiseworthy.
Prof Yaparel thanked the vice chancellor and the UHS faculty for their warm welcome. He said Turkey’s commitment to the welfare of the people of Pakistan was no secret. He said the visit of the Turkish delegation to the UHS would open new chapters of cooperation, especially in the field of medical education and health research.
