The Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai hosted a flag-hoisting ceremony.

The Consulate General of Pakistan in Dubai hosted a flag-hoisting ceremony The year 2025, declared as the "Year of the Community" by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, carries special significance for us. It reflects the UAE’s continued commitment to inclusivity, harmony, and appreciation of its diverse residents. I take this opportunity to commend the Pakistani community for actively contributing to this vision through impactful initiatives. One such commendable initiative is the Health Festival organized by the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) in collaboration with the Consulate General of Pakistan—a true embodiment of community service and solidarity. I would also like to acknowledge that PAD, with the support of the community, made history by setting a new Guinness World Record through the creation of the largest UAE flag featuring the maximum number of human handprints—an outstanding gesture of love, unity, and coexistence. I extend my sincere appreciation to Emirates Loves Pakistan and PAD for organizing the grandest Independence Day celebrations at Expo City Dubai. Their efforts have not only elevated our national pride but also strengthened the bonds of friendship between Pakistan and the UAE. As proud Pakistanis living in this gracious host country, we have a shared responsibility to respect and uphold the laws, customs, and values of the UAE. I appeal to all community members to remain law-abiding, courteous, and exemplary residents—representing Pakistan with dignity and honor. Let us celebrate this Independence Day with pride, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to unity, progress, and peaceful coexistence. May we continue to uplift our community and strengthen the enduring friendship between Pakistan and the UAE. Pakistan Zindabad. (Hussain Muhammad) Consul General of Pakistan, Dubai
