Saudi Arabia wishes Pakistan on 77th Independence Day

Islamabad: Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Islamabad congratulated Pakistan on its 77th Independence Day on Monday, with wishes for the South Asian nation’s continued progress and prosperity.

Pakistan and the Kingdom have long-standing connections in a variety of fields, including trade, defense, and the military.

Furthermore, more than two million Pakistanis live abroad in Saudi Arabia, making that country the biggest source of remittance inflows.

“The Kingdom’s embassy in Islamabad is pleased to congratulate the brotherly government and people of Pakistan on the Independence Day of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with sincere wishes for continued progress and prosperity,” the KSA embassy said on Twitter.

The United States, China, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries also congratulated Pakistan on Sunday as the nation geared up to celebrate its 77th Independence Day.

Pakistan achieved independence from British colonial India on August 14, 1947, after Britain partitioned the subcontinent into two separate nations, Muslim-majority Pakistan and Hindu-majority India.
