Dubai's Burj Khalifa lights up in green

On the occasion of Pakistan's 78th Independence Day, the world's tallest building in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) lit up in the vibrant colors of the green crescent flag on Thursday.

Pakistan's Independence Day celebrations transcended borders and reached new heights when the iconic Burj Khalifa shone brilliantly in green and white. Thousands of people including Pakistanis gathered to witness this breathtaking spectacle.

As soon as the Burj Khalifa donned the colors of the Pakistani flag, the skies of Dubai echoed with chants of "Pakistan Zindabad". The melody of the national anthem created an atmosphere of joy and pride.

Pakistani expatriates in the UAE attended with their families. Children wore clothes matching the colors of the national flag, women adorned green and white bangles, and men waved the flag proudly.

The night sky was further lit up by a dazzling fireworks display. Participants said that freedom is a blessing, and its value is felt most by those living away from their homeland.

The unity, harmony, love, and discipline displayed by Pakistanis at the Burj Khalifa was proof that Pakistan is not just a geographical entity, but a passion, an identity, a light that shines in the hearts of Pakistanis living in every corner of the world.

The Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, Turkey was often illuminated with the colors of the Pakistani flag on the Independence Day, symbolizing the strong bond between the two countries.
