Congratulatory Message of Russian Ambassador Albert P. Khorev on Pakistan Day:
Let me extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Government and people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on the occasion of Pakistan Day.
This year, Pakistan celebrates the 85th anniversary of the adoption of the Lahore Resolution, which chartered the path for the creation of a unique independent Islamic Republic in the Indian subcontinent. Despite innumerable hardships, the Pakistani nation has managed to uphold its traditional values and remain faithful to the principles laid down by the great philosophers and founding fathers of the country: Alama Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Russia has always appreciated Pakistan’s hospitality, natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Pakistan has enormous potential in all spheres of life, and the country’s greatest asset is its hardworking and open-hearted people. As a Pakistani saying goes, hard work is the key to success.
On this joyous occasion, I wish each and every Pakistani good health, well-being, and happiness. May your beautiful country overcome every obstacle on the path of development and prosperity!
Pak Sarzameen Shaad Baad!
