ISLAMABAD: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met on Saturday and agreed to enhance counter-terrorism cooperation aimed at fighting the possible threat from the militant group Islamic State and other such terrorist organisations.
Erdogan landed in Islamabad along with his wife Saturday evening for a brief stopover on his way back from Indonesia. He was received by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Begum Kulsoom Nawaz at the Nur Khan base. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, federal ministers Ishaq Dar and Khawaja Asif, Adviser on National Security Sartaj Aziz and Special Assistant to the PM Tariq Fatemi were also present at the airport. A contingent of Pakistan Air Force presented Erdogan an honourary salute on his first visit to Pakistan since assuming the office of Turkey’s president.
Erdogan had earlier visited Lahore and Islamabad in December 2013 as the prime minister of Turkey. Saturday’s meeting marks the seventh time he has visited Pakistan in the last decade, signifying substantial growth and strengthening of relations under his government. Prime Minister Nawaz hosted a dinner in honour of the visiting dignitary. Turkey has very recently upped the momentum of its fight against IS and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) — two groups who are themselves bitterly opposed — after a week of deadly violence in Turkey the authorities blamed on the organisations.
The recent raids against IS mark a major shift in policy towards the group by key NATO member Turkey, which has faced severe criticism from its Western allies for not doing enough to combat the militants. The US and Turkey also recently agreed to work together to drive fighters of the self-styled Islamic State from northern Syria, with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu saying his country’s military could “change the balance” in the region. The potentially game-changing accord between the US and Turkey aims to “establish an ISIL-free zone and ensure greater security and stability along Turkey’s border with Syria,” said a US official last week.
Analysts and experts believe the upsurge in Turkey’s activity against IS is a consequence of the deadly suicide bombing in the town of Suruc on the Syrian border, which killed at least 30 civilians.
Pakistani officials saluted Erdogan as he emerged from his plane at the Nur Khan air base. Nawaz Sharif formally introduced Erdogan to his brother and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and other senior officials on the tarmac. Clad in traditional dresses, a boy and a girl presented bouquets to the dignitary. Later, President Erdogan and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held a one-on-one meeting to discuss the enhancement of bilateral relations, as well as global and international issues of mutual interest.
Nawaz will later host a dinner reception to welcome Erdogan. “Pakistan deeply appreciates the personal contribution to the growth and expansion of Pakistan-Turkey relations under the sagacious leadership of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” a statement from the Foreign Office said earlier. Earlier, Erdogan concluded his three-day visit to Indonesia. He met Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Friday to enhance bilateral relations between the countries as part of three-day state visit to the Southeast Asian country. On Friday Erdogan gave a speech at Indonesia’s National Resilience Institute in Jakarta before attending Friday prayers at Istiqlal Grand Mosque. The Turkish president left Pakistan after about a two-hour long stopover. The prime minister appreciated the personal contribution of the Turkish president to the growth and expansion of Pak-Turkey relations, said a Prime Minister’s House statement. He expressed his desire for both brotherly countries to work together for increasing the volume of bilateral trade and investment through trade agreements and other measures. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif appreciated Turkish technical participation in various development projects in the last few years.
Meanwhile, Turkish President Erdogan expressed the hope that mutual cooperation between the two countries would increase in the future. According to the media reports, during the meeting both leaders expressed their resolve to work together for resolving the challenges facing the Muslim Ummah. The prime minister said Pakistan attaches great importance to heart of Asia Istanbul process. He expressed satisfaction over the progress in promoting defence ties between the two countries. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a special talk at the air base. The former showed a video of Pakistan Metro Bus project in Islamabad and Rawalpindi to the Turk president. Erdogan appreciated the metro bus project. He invited the chief minister to visit Turkey and said he will also visit Lahore.

So you want to invite Saeen from Sindh to come sleep through the meeting? hahahah
Seriously!


Ok back to the topic


It is a fallacy to talk about fighting IS or Daesh only..

Middle East is suffering from two kinds of militancy. Sunni militancy (Talib-astards, and Daesh etc) and Shia militancy (Houthis and Hizbullah).

All these militant organizations have formed or trying to form "state within the state".

And thus pose serious challenge to the nation states in the region.

As Gen Raheel have said, "we are against all kinds of gangs and militants".


That means Pakistan must join hands with everyone who wants to curb and destroy both Shia and Sunni gangs.

peace

Public Transportation Enhances Personal Opportunities

  • The latest research shows that in 2011, U.S. public transportation use saved 865 million hours in travel time and 450 million gallons of fuel in 498 urban areas.
  • Without public transportation, congestion costs in 2011 would have risen by nearly $21 billion from $121 billion to $142 billion in 498 urban areas.
Public Transportation Provides Economic Opportunities & Drives Community Growth and Revitalization
  • Every $1 invested in public transportation generates approximately $4 in economic returns.
  • Every $1 billion invested in public transportaiton supports and creates more than 50,000 jobs.
  • Every $10 million in capital investment in public transportation yields $30 million in increased business sales.
  • Home values performed 42 percent better on average if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service.
Public Transportation Saves Money

Public Transportation Reduces Carbon Footprint
  • Public transportation use in the United States reduces our nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons annually. This is equivalent to Washington, DC; New York City; Atlanta; Denver; and Los Angeles combined stopping using electricity.
  • One person with a 20-mile round trip commute who switches from driving to public transit can reduce his or her daily carbon emissions by 20 pounds, or more than 4,800 pounds in a year.
  • A single commuter switching his or her commute to public transportation can reduce a household’s carbon emissions by 10 percent and up to 30 percent if he or she eliminates a car.
Public transport all over the world is subsidized and highly unlikely to be profitable, but the long terms economical and environmental benefits, outweighs the short term dollar lost.
