Remarks by Ambassador of Pakistan on the occasion of Pakistan Day Reception in Ankara on 23 March 2018

Excellencies,
Honourable guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the Pakistan Day Reception.

On this day, 78 years ago, the Muslims of the Sub-continent, formally adopted the idea of a separate homeland as their ultimate political goal.

Within 7 years, Pakistan emerged as a proud, independent State on 14th August 1947.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Pakistan-Turkey brotherhood is without parallel in inter-state relations.

It is a heart-to-heart relationship that transcends boundaries of time and geography.

The two countries have always and will continue to stand by and support each other at all times.

We are extremely grateful to the chief guest, the guests of honour as well as a number of dear friends of Pakistan, whose presence here today is a matter of great honour for us.

Thank you for sparing the time to share our joy.

We are also very thankful for the participation of Turkish Armed Forces’ T-129 ATAK helicopters in our national day celebrations in Islamabad earlier today.

Our heartfelt thanks also to the Government of Turkey for lighting the Bridges over Bosphorus in Pakistan’s colours today, to mark this occasion. 

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today’s reception is dedicated to the celebration of Pakistan’s diversity.

We have prepared a special menu for you, featuring our regional cuisines.

Please enjoy!


Thank you!
