Pakistan historically enjoys friendly and brotherly relations with the Kingdom of Bahrain which have grown stronger over the years, according to the Ambassador of Pakistan Jauhar Saleem.
In his message on the auspicious occasion of the 67th Independence Day, Ambassador extended compliments to the Pakistan community in Bahrain as well as the Government and the friendly people of the Kingdom.
“The close people to people contacts and inter government interactions have been growing in strength over the years. Both countries share common perception and ideals and the objectives of promoting peace and development and regional security, both in the Gulf as also in South and South-West Asia. We also share similar views on a number of regional and international issues,” he added.
“The 14th August is an important day for the people of Pakistan. On this day a separate homeland was created where people could live in freedom and shape their lives in accordance with their faith, ideals and values. The Founding Fathers of Pakistan envisaged a country where democracy, constitutionalism and respect of human rights would reign supreme. Pakistan has entered into a new era after successful elections and transition of government on completion of five years of an elected government. This has not only strengthened democracy but also given a fillip to the aspirations for progress and development,” the Ambassador said.
“I am confident that these bonds of friendship and brotherhood, based on mutual goodwill, commonality of interest, shared traditions and a common Islamic heritage, are destined to grow stronger in the years ahead to the mutual benefit of our peoples.
“Pakistan Diaspora is significantly contributing to the development in Bahrain, both in public and private sectors. I am proud of their hard work and achievements. Bahrain has also contributed a lot to their personal development. May I urge that it is binding for our community to maintain the existing healthy and positive reputation of fully respecting the local laws and culture and serving Bahrain towards its bright future,” he added.
