The Senate of Pakistan, under the visionary leadership of Chairman Senate Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, is set to adopt a historic resolution during its session on May 22, 2025. The resolution calls upon the government to declare May 25th as Pakistan-African Friendship Day to enhance bilateral, multilateral, and international cooperation with African nations.
Ambassadors and High Commissioners from various African countries have been invited to attend and witness the proceedings of the Upper House on this significant occasion. A reception will also be hosted in honour of the diplomats from the African region. The Senate Secretariat has made comprehensive arrangements in this regard.
Under the leadership of Chairman Senate, the Senate of Pakistan is actively employing parliamentary diplomacy as a means to project Pakistan’s soft image, foster people-to-people contact, and strengthen cooperation at both regional and international levels. The initiative to celebrate Pakistan-African Friendship Day on May 25 each year is the initiative of Chairman Senate, who envisions robust and multifaceted collaboration with the African continent.
