The nationals were taken by a chartered flight from Syria to the capital city of Lebanon Beirut then to their country showing good international relations even during difficult times.
Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal received the happy faces of the people whom he welcomed and informed them of the previous status of the place which had made their return impossible.
