Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif received a phone call from President of Sri Lanka Ranil Wickremesinghe and he offered sympathies on the widespread devastation caused by the recent floods in Pakistan and condoled with the Prime Minister the loss of lives.
Shehbaz Sharif thanked President of Srilanka for his compassion and expression of support in these testing times and briefed him on the large-scale destruction caused across Pakistan.
The Prime Minister highlighted that the floods have caused extensive loss of human lives, livelihoods, livestock, crops, property, and critical infrastructure.
He reiterated the need for enhanced awareness in the international community about the scale of the floods which have deluged one-third of the country.
He hoped that the “2022 UN Flash Appeal” for the Pakistan flood response launched on 30th of the last month will contribute towards meeting the relief funding requirements.
The two leaders expressed the desire to further strengthen the fraternal relations between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in areas of mutual interest.
