Islamabad – On the eve of Eid ul Fitr, a ceremony was held in Islamabad to mark the delivery of Russian humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities in Pakistan. Over 30 tons of essential supplies, including food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities, were transported to Pakistan via a special flight operated by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations , with active coordination from the Russian Embassy in Pakistan.
The ceremony was attended by Albert P. Khorev, Russian Ambassador to Pakistan, alongside MoFA Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
In his address, Russia has a proud history of helping the people of friendly countries around the world. More than once, we have come to the aid of the friendly nation of Pakistan in times of need. This was the case in 2005, when valiant Russian emergency workers came to the rescue after devastating earthquakes shook northern Punjab and northeastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and in 2022, after catastrophic floods hit southern and south-eastern Pakistan.
We believe that humanitarian cooperation, including the provision of humanitarian aid, is an important component of Russia-Pakistan relations, which are currently at their highest point in history. he added
