St. Patrick’s Day was commemorated by the Embassy of Ireland in Islamabad, bringing together diplomats, government officials, and members of the wider international community.
The Ireland’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Mary O’Neill, welcomed guests and reflected on Ireland’s shared historical experiences of colonisation, conflict, and poverty, noting how these have shaped the country’s commitment to the United Nations Charter and the promotion of human rights globally.
The event was attended by several distinguished personalities, including Chief Guest Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication, alongside members of the diplomatic corps and civil society representatives.
The event held in honour of Ireland’s National Day provided a meaningful opportunity to advance bilateral ties and celebrate the longstanding cultural connections between the two.
