Pakistan President Arif Alvi rules out any ties with Israel

Islamabad: Pakistan President Dr Arif Alvi Sunday said that Pakistan will never establish any ties with Israel.

Speaking to reporters here before leaving for Turkey, he termed reports of landing of an Israeli aircraft in Pakistan baseless and unfounded. “Pakistan is not going to establish any ties with Israel,” he added.

The President said Turkey was an important friend of Pakistan, which has always supported us on all issues, including Kashmir. He said besides Saudi Arabia, “we will also invite other friendly countries to invest in the country.”

Pursuing the government’s austerity drive, the President opted to travel through commercial flight. He got his luggage security screened and went through the immigration process.
