Message from the President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on the National Day of Australia (26 January 2026)

Islamabad: January 25, 2026


On the occasion of the National Day of the Commonwealth of Australia, I extend my warm felicitations to Her Excellency Ms Sam Mostyn, Governor-General of Australia, and to the people of Australia.

Pakistan values its friendly and constructive relations with Australia, grounded in mutual respect, shared democratic values, and a long-standing record of cooperation across diverse fields. Our partnership continues to evolve through regular political dialogue, growing trade and investment links, educational collaboration, parliamentary exchanges, and strong people-to-people ties.

I am confident that enhanced leadership-level engagement and sustained institutional cooperation will further deepen mutual understanding and expand collaboration in priority areas including trade, investment, agriculture, education, climate resilience, innovation, and regional and global issues of shared interest. Pakistan looks forward to working closely with Australia to advance our common objectives for peace, stability, and shared prosperity.
