contribution in introducing our country’s culture, clothes, food, sports, spectacles and music
to their peers and general populations abroad cannot be overemphasized.

participate in various extracurricular activities to express their national identity and culture,”

displaying their identity and culture through various manifestations. He also appreciated the
students for regularly participating in the events of the Pakistani High Commission and
