"There is dire need to promote relationship at all levels among Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to strengthen the Muslim Ummah," he said.

The JUI F head said that Turkey always supported Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir issue but speech of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Parliament would further boost the moral of Kashmiris.
