ISLAMABAD: The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), in partnership with Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM), has delivered food packages to 1,500 families across Pakistan to mark the holy month of Ramadan. The distribution ceremony took place in Rawalpindi, Muridke (Punjab), and Oghi (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), where TİKA handed over the packages to PBM for distribution.

At the event, Dr. İrfan Neziroğlu, Ambassador of Türkiye to Pakistan, highlighted the strong historical and cultural ties between Türkiye and Pakistan. He said, “Today, on the occasion of Ramadan, we are coming together to support our brothers and sisters in need.
