AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSIONER WISHES PAKISTANIS EID MUBARAK
Australia’s Acting High Commissioner to Pakistan “Joanne Frederiksen” sends her warmest wishes to Muslims in Pakistan, Australia and around the world on Eid ul Fitr. In her message she said:
“I send my warmest good wishes to Muslims here in Pakistan, back home in Australia, and right around the world, who are celebrating the festival of Eid al-Fitr.
Eid is a joyous occasion, to be celebrated with family and friends – a truly special time.
In Australia, we take pride in being an open and diverse multi-ethnic and multi-faith democracy.
With every Eid celebration we are given an opportunity to reflect on the invaluable contribution Australian Muslims make to the Australian community.
Australia and Pakistan’s people-to-people links continue to deepen and grow. Today, more than 85,000 Pakistanis call Australia home.
These links draw on over 70 years of friendship between our two countries, underpinned by a shared Commonwealth heritage, engagement on peace and security, steady trade ties, cooperation on education and our common love of cricket.
