    Nawaz Sharif calls for closer collaboration in regional disaster management

    September 10, 2014

    Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said Pakistan is prepared to cooperate in efforts for relief and rehabilitation of people affected by unprecedented rains and flooding on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC).


    He made this offer in response to a letter from his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.


    Nawaz Sharif said the offer for assistance by Indian Prime Minister in our relief efforts is thoughtful. Such solidarity in the face of adversity is indeed valuable.     


    He said he is anguished to see the scale of human suffering and physical destruction as he toured affected areas of Kashmir. He said he is aware that the Kashmiris on the other side of the Line of Control have also faced heavy loss of life and material damage.


    The Prime Minister said it is an unfortunate reality that South Asia remains one of the most disaster-prone regions of the world. As we chart a course to advance our common goals of peace and stability, we must also focus on addressing the deeper causes of recurrent floods and on strengthening the preparedness and resilience of our communities against natural calamities.


    Nawaz Sharif said he believe closer collaboration in disaster management should be a part of our agenda of peace and development in the region.(PBC/KH)
