Islamabad, Pakistan: Pakistan showed a rare friendly gesture and let the European flight pass through its air space which was bringing covid aid for India. Androulla Kaminara, the EU envoy to Pakistan thanked Islamabad for so swiftly and efficiently processing the request.
“We would like to warmly thank Pakistan for so swiftly and efficiently processing the request for over-flight of EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid plane delivering humanitarian supplies to India. Global solidarity,” Ambassador Kaminara tweeted.
Last week, Pakistan had offered relief and support to India in the wake of the current wave of COVID-19.

We believe in a policy of Humanity First,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in a tweet last week.
