The Pakistan National Day Reception was held in Astana
on 29 March 2017 at President Rixos Hotel Astana.
A large number of Kazakh dignitaries, members of the
diplomatic corps and Pakistani community living in
Kazakhstan attended the Reception.
H.E. Akylbek Kamaldinov, Deputy Foreign Minister,
represented the Government Kazakhstan on the occasion.
Ambassador Abdul Salik Khan highlighting the importance
of 23rd March said that Seventy seven years ago the
Muslims of the South Asian Subcontinent under the
leadership of Quaid–e–Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah the
founding father of Pakistan, collectively resolved to
carve out a separate homeland for themselves where they
could live in accordance with their own traditions,
values and culture.
The Ambassador said that Pakistan today is a democratic
republic of nearly 200 million people. We have not only
an enthusiastic parliament, an independent judiciary,
and free media, but also a vibrant civil society.
The Ambassador mentioned that we are grateful to Allah
that today the people of Pakistan have regained their
lost identity. While during the last three years the
Army, security agencies and people have rendered
sacrifices to make Pakistan a cradle of peace, the
government has maintained its focus on accelerating
economic prosperity and progress. Pakistan's GDP growth
has increased from an average of around 3% over the past
few years to 4.71% last financial year and is expected
to further grow this year.
The Ambassador said that Pakistan strongly believes in
regional integration and connectivity. The recently held
13th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization
(ECO) in Islamabad is a testimony to our commitment to
regional cooperation. Participation by Deputy Prime
Minister of Kazakhstan H.E.Mr. Askar Myrzakhmetov in the
Summit, was highly appreciated.
The Ambassador mentioned that we were highly impressed
by the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan under
the visionary leadership of President Nursultan
Nazarbayev. Kazakhstan’s rising stature in the
international community is a testimony to the vision of
its leadership the Ambassador said.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mr. Akelbek Kamaldinov said this
year Republic of Kazakhstan and Pakistan are celebrating
the 25th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic
relations.
The Deputy Foreign Minister underlined that since the
establishment of diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan
and Pakistan cooperation in the political,
trade-economic, cultural-humanitarian and other spheres,
has been developing in the spirit of mutual trust and
partnership. Referring to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s
visit to Astana in August 2015, he said that high level
meetings were held and a number of governmental and
commercial agreements in economic and military-technical
fields were signed. He underlined that positive
development of relations between Pakistan and Kazakhstan
would continue to strengthen in future.
The students of the National School of Physics and
Mathematics of Kazakhstan presented Pakistani cultural
dance on national songs which was witnessed with great
interest by the guests.
