As the two largest Muslim countries, Indonesia and Pakistan have strong fraternal and friendly relations. 
 
Both countries help each other during natural disasters, either the tsunami in Indonesia or the massive floods in Pakistan in 2010. 
 
It is hoped that Indonesia's assistance will reduce the suffering of flood-affected people and support the rapid efforts made by the Pakistani government in dealing with the effects of large-scale flash floods in Pakistan.
