Furthermore, Mr Pathan observed that this year marked the 55th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Mauritius, and this one-week celebration would be a great opportunity for the people of Mauritius to come and join the festivities and entertainments that the High Commission would be offering in terms of film festivals, food festivals, sports activities, among others.

High Commissioner Pathan further indicated that the President and the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, had, in their message on Pakistan’s Independence Day, called for peace and unity, in particular, in the present situation where Pakistan was currently facing temporarily economic and social issues. He thereby expressed confidence that Pakistan would come out of these situations very soon as, according to him, it was a resilient nation.

Speaking of the bilateral relationships that Pakistan and Mauritius shared, Mr Pathan underlined that relations had always been cordial between the two countries and they had never had any contradictory views on any international or regional issues. “As time passes by, I am hopeful that the relationship will grow warmer day by day, and I thank the Government of Mauritius for being supportive and attentive to Pakistan’s viewpoints, thereby further strengthening these relations,” he stated.
