The President of
Pakistan Mr. Mamnoon Hussain in his message stated that Pakistan Day reminds us
about the unparalleled democratic struggle by our ancestors which was aimed at
providing the Muslims of the sub-continent a place where they could develop to
the fullest spiritual, cultural, economic, social and political life in a way
that they thought best and in consonance with their own ideals and genius. He
urged the Pakistani nation to always hold high the banners of democracy,
constitutionalism and rule of law through which this state was created.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in his message
said that “March 23” is a milestone in the history of Pakistan when
the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent passed the historic Lahore Resolution
in the 27th annual meeting of All-India Muslim League. This Resolution gave a
clear objective to the Muslims and united them for the attainment of a shared
goal. Our elders sacrificed their present for the sake of preserving our
future. Today, we remember our forefathers and pay our gratitude to them for
making extraordinary sacrifices to give us an identity. The sacrifices laid
down by the founding fathers of the country demand that every effort should be
made for achieving the objectives of Quaid-e-Azam’s vision, said the Prime
Minister.
The Premier said Pakistan
is passing through a critical stage in the history; however, the resilient
nation has braved the daunting challenges with the spirit of one nation. Our
government is committed to preserve our great cultural heritage and national
identity and to making our earnest efforts for bringing about economic and
social revival in Pakistan ,

Nawaz Sharif is keen to further boost relations with Turkey in all fields. He said
Turkish entrepreneurs have shown keen interest in initiating large-scale
projects in the energy, infrastructure development, municipal services and
agro-based industry in Pakistan .

Ambassadors of their country and urged them to continue playing their active
role in bringing Turkey and Pakistan further
