The Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai commemorated Pakistan’s National Day with a dignified ceremony attended by members of the Pakistani community and Consulate officials. H.E. Hussain Muhammad, Consul General of Pakistan, hoisted the national flag to mark the commencement of the proceedings. Messages from the President, Prime Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister of Pakistan were read on the occasion.
In his address, the Consul General extended warm felicitations on Pakistan Day, recalling the historic significance of March 23, 1940, when the Muslims of the subcontinent adopted the Pakistan Resolution, laying the foundation for an independent homeland. He noted that this defining moment ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan on August 14, 1947.
Paying tribute to the visionary leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the sacrifices of countless leaders and workers of the Pakistan Movement, he stated, “The creation of Pakistan through a peaceful and democratic struggle remains an unparalleled milestone in the human history”.
Highlighting the role of the Pakistani diaspora in the United Arab Emirates, he described the community as a vital bridge between Pakistan and the UAE, contributing significantly to the progress of both countries. He highlighted that the highest foreign remittances to Pakistan in February 2026 were received from the UAE and commended the community for this achievement.
While appreciating the responsible conduct demonstrated by the community amid the current regional security situation, he urged continued adherence to local laws and awareness of local laws and sensitivities, particularly in the use of social and digital media platforms.
The Consul General encouraged Pakistanis in Dubai and the Northern Emirates to continue playing a constructive role in Pakistan’s development. He emphasized the importance of upholding the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity, and reaffirmed that adherence to Quaid-e-Azam’s guiding principles of Unity, Faith, and Discipline would lead to a stronger and more prosperous Pakistan.
