  • [01] Foreign ministry offers to provide aid for earthquake victims in Pakistan and India

    Foreign Minister Petros Molyviatis instructed the ministry's secretary general to contact the ambassadors of Pakistan and India in Greece on Saturday, on hearing of the devastating earthquake which struck regions of the two countries.

    In an announcement, the foreign ministry expressed Greece's sympathy and solidarity and stressed the country's readiness to contribute to search and rescue efforts in the regions affected by the earthquake by sending a mission of the EMAK special rescue group.

    Rescuers searched frantically in the rubble of flattened towns and villages on Sunday for survivors of the devastating earthquake that killed more than 20,000 in northern Pakistan and India.

    In worst hit Pakistan, more than 24 hours after Saturday morning's quake, hundreds of children were trapped in collapsed schools and 150 people, including foreigners, were buried in two collapsed apartment blocks in the capital, Islamabad.

    Meanwhile, he quadripartite conference Public Order Minister George Voulgarakis was due to have in Athens on October 10-11 with the Interior Ministers of Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, Mostafa Poor-Mohammadi, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao and Abdulkadir Aksu respectively, has been postponed until early November.

    The reason for the postponement is that Pakistan's Interior Minister will be unable to attend the conference due to the earthquake that struck Pakistan on Saturday.

    The conference was to focus on cooperation in combatting illegal immigration, drug-trafficking and organised crime in general.
