On the occasion of August 14, Independence Day, a ceremony was held at the Pakistan Embassy in Copenhagen, in which a large number of Pakistanis living across the country participated. Among them were the first-generation elders and women of Pakistanis, as well as school children.

On this occasion, the Ambassador of Pakistan, Mr. Shoaib Sarwar, especially thanked the Pakistanis for joining the ceremony to celebrate their country’s Independence Day “despite being a working day” and expressed their national spirit. He told about the anti-Pakistan aggression by India in recent days and said that the Pakistan Army and especially the Pakistan Air Force have caused a disaster for India.

We hope that India will not take such an ignorant and aggressive step. He said that Pakistan wants peace and security in the region and its services for this are being acknowledged all over the world today. And India should keep in mind that Pakistan is not a soft snack that it will swallow. Pakistan is a nuclear power, and this is not just a show. Our forces have proven that they can bring India to its knees by giving such a befitting reply within five hours. He paid great tribute to the Pakistani armed forces and their commanders and said that the Pakistani nation stands by its armed forces. He mentioned the Pakistanis living in Denmark and Pakistanis spread all over the world and said that all of them are patriots, their love for Pakistan is their passion and faith and they provide a huge amount of foreign exchange for the development and prosperity of their country.
