ISLAMABAD:

The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini conveyed his heartfelt wishes for the country's success, prosperity, advancement, harmony, and unity in his message ahead of Pakistan Resolution Day.

In his message, the Iranian envoy said at the onset of this beautiful and refreshing spring, on behalf of the government and great people of Iran, he would like to avail the opportunity to extend his heartiest felicitations on the auspicious occasion of Pakistan Day to the government and all the honourable people of Pakistan.

Hosseini said, "Today the great nation of Pakistan pays tribute to the founding father of their nation, Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, whose inspiring character and high thought nourished a stream that sought for equity and justice. During the decades, the nation faced predicaments and obstacles, suffered pains and struggled to do their best for the development and promotion of their homeland.

Finally, some seven decades ago, on March 23, 1940, Pakistan managed to pass the Pakistan Resolution at Iqbal Park to pave the ground for realising its great dreams to form a sovereign state and cherish its independence,” he said.

The ambassador said the March 23 is the day when the honourable people of Pakistan celebrate their success triumphantly and renew their commitment to the very principles for which they fought valiantly and sacrificed a lot.

"The year 2023 is a momentous year of strong diplomatic relations between the two brotherly, friendly and neighbourly countries of Iran and Pakistan. During the decades-long journey of the two countries, they cooperated on many shared priorities of mutual benefits.
