Korean envoy to Islamabad sends congratula­tions

- By Park Ki-jun Park Ki-jun is ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

I extend warmest congratula­tions to all the Pakistanis who live in Korea as you celebrate Pakistan Day. March 23 holds a significan­t place in the hearts of all Pakistanis, commemorat­ing the Lahore Resolution of 1940, which laid the foundation for the creation of Pakistan. Embracing the core values of unity, faith and discipline inherent in Pakistan Day, I remain optimistic that Pakistan will continue to achieve remarkable progress in the years ahead.

Pakistan’s abundant natural resources and youthful demographi­c offer a competitiv­e edge for a promising future. Additional­ly, Pakistan’s rich tapestry of history, heritage and vibrant traditions has fostered the flourishin­g of diverse cultures. These combined human, material resources and cultural assets form a robust foundation for Pakistan’s ongoing developmen­t trajectory.

Since the establishm­ent of diplomatic relations in 1983, Korea and Pakistan have been developing a deep bond of friendship and cooperatio­n. Our collaborat­ion spans various sectors, including trade, culture, people-to-people exchanges and developmen­t cooperatio­n. As we celebrate Pakistan Day, I want to reaffirm our commitment to further strengthen­ing ties between Korea and Pakistan, and exploring new avenues of cooperatio­n towards a brighter future.

On this significan­t day, I also want to congratula­te the newly inaugurate­d government of Pakistan. May the spirit of Pakistan Day continue to guide the new government and Pakistani people towards continued success and prosperity. I wish you all a memorable and joyous Pakistan Day celebratio­n.
