ISLAMABAD: At least 60,000 participants are expected to attend a public celebration event marking Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day in Dubai today, Sunday, the UAE’s official news agency said.
The event titled ‘Emirates Loves Pakistan’ will be held at the Dubai Exhibition Center in Expo City and will be attended by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the UAE’s minister of tolerance and coexistence, alongside Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Pakistan’s ambassador to the UAE, WAM reported.
Diplomats, economic representatives and “notable social figures” from the Pakistani community in the country will also be at the event, which WAM said is being organized by ‘Emirates Loves Pakistan’ — a platform dedicated to sharing content that highlights the success stories and contributions of the Pakistani community in the UAE, in collaboration with the Pakistan Association in Dubai, with support from Dubai Police.
“The occasion will feature activities reflecting the cultural heritage, arts, and folklore of Pakistan, as well as acknowledging the historical relations and diplomatic ties between the two nations,” WAM said in a report on Saturday.
“The event, expected to draw approximately 60,000 attendees, will include a ceremony to acknowledge distinguished members of the Pakistani community in the UAE, accompanied by cultural performances, artistic exhibitions, musical presentations, and traditional folklore activities,” it added.
