...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... signed on Wednesday a defence agreement under which Pakistain will get 34 T-37 aircraft and spares free of cost from its close friend. The T-37 is a Jet Trainer and Light Attack aircraft. The agreement was signed by Director General of Pakistain's Defence Procurement Maj Gen Naveed Ahmed and Turkey's Chief of Logistics Maj Gen Serdar Gulbas. A Joint Communique was also signed by Pakistain's Defence Secretary retired Lt Gen Muhammad Alam Khattak and Turkey's Deputy Chief of General Staff Gen Yasar Guler, says a blurb issued here on Wednesday. During his visit to Turkey, the defence secretary focused on Pakistain's defence and military capability and its requirements in the current global perspective. He praised the initiatives of President Recep Tayyip Erodogan for democracy. He said that Pakistain wanted to translate the exemplary brotherly relations with Turkey into strategic cooperation. The two sides agreed to enhance cooperation at regional and multinational forums, including UN, OIC, ECO and D-8. Expressing his views in the High-Level Military Dialogue Group (HLMDG) on Regional and Global Security, he said Pakistain wanted to expand cooperation from defence industries and training to the level of joint ventures. He thanked the Turkish defence industry's support for Pakistain's naval, air and communication systems. | |
