ISLAMABAD: The United States, China, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries congratulated Pakistan on Sunday as the nation gears up to celebrate its 77th Independence Day tomorrow, Monday.
Pakistan achieved independence from British colonial India on August 14, 1947, after the United Kingdom partitioned the subcontinent into two separate nations—Muslim-majority Pakistan and Hindu-majority India.
Over the course of seven decades, Pakistan has established close and cordial ties with the UAE, China, and the United States, and established trade and economic relationships with all three countries.
"Through wise forethought, diplomatic efforts, and trade and business exchanges enacted over the last few years, the UAE and Pakistan relationship has become a successful model for bilateral relations and has been elevating to another level, closer than ever," UAE Ambassador to Pakistan Hamad Obaid Al Zaabi said in a statement.
He said Pakistan and UAE have extended their relations across economic affairs to the domains of education, culture, science, and technology.
US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome said last year was a testament to the strength of the Pakistan-US relationship.
"We worked together on health, energy, and climate, and to support the Pakistani people's recovery from last year's floods," Blome said in a recorded video message.
"Together, we will work to create a more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future."
The Chinese embassy in Pakistan also congratulated Pakistan on the eve of its independence day, reiterating its commitment to friendship with the South Asian country.
"On the way to prosperity, China always stands with Pakistan," the embassy wrote on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
