ISLAMABAD: Chairman Senate and former Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and Minister of State Haroon Akhtar have stressed the need of expansion and diversification of the relationship between Pakistan and Australia in different spheres. They were addressing the Australia Day reception here Wednesday evening in the diplomatic enclave.
Haroon Akhtar was the chief guest on the occasion. The Australian High Commission celebrated the Day with a vibrant reception, shining a spotlight on the dynamic people-to-people connections that continue to shape the Australia–Pakistan relationship. This year’s theme was brought to life through immersive experiences and a fusion of cultures: kangaroos in truck art, the sounds of native Australian birds echoing through the gardens, and digital displays showcasing the natural beauty of Australia’s six states and two territories. “This relationship is powered by people,” High Commissioner Neil Hawkins said in his address. “From the Baloch cameleers who helped build Australia’s outback, to the more than 100,000 Pakistanis who now call Australia home, and the 20,000 students currently studying in Australia—our ties are living, growing, and deeply rooted.”
