Also in attendance was HE Ibrahim Yousuf Fakhro, director of protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among others. In his address, the Ambassador of Pakistan to Qatar HE Muhammad Aamer warmly welcomed the guests and highlighted the historical significance of Pakistan Day, celebrating the nation’s journey from the Lahore Resolution to independence in 1947. He emphasised the importance of resilience, unity, and continued progress for Pakistan.
The ambassador underscored the strong and evolving relationship between Pakistan and Qatar, tracing it back to the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1972. He noted the recent visit of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Qatar in October 2024 as a milestone in deepening bilateral cooperation in areas such as trade, defence, technology, and education. He also highlighted the cultural collaboration between the two countries, particularly the successful ‘Manzar: Art and Architecture from Pakistan, 1940 to Present Day’ exhibition inaugurated at the National Museum of Qatar by the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The Pakistani ambassador expressed gratitude to Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani for her pivotal role in bringing the exhibition to life—an effort recognised through the conferment of the prestigious Hilal-e-Pakistan award by the Government of Pakistan. Reflecting on shared values and concerns, the ambassador reaffirmed Pakistan’s steadfast support for the rights of the Palestinian people, condemning the ongoing humanitarian crises and calling for global solidarity and action. He also paid tribute to the nearly 300,000-strong Pakistani community in Qatar, praising their contributions across sectors such as health care, education, finance, and construction.
