Australia’s Chargé d’Affaires in Pakistan Bryce Hutchesson Wednesday congratulated the people and the Government of Pakistan on Pakistan Day, saying there were many opportunities available for the mutual benefit of two countries. “I congratulate the people and Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in celebrating the 82nd anniversary of the passing of the Pakistan Resolution,” he said in a message. He said Australia had been a steadfast friend to Pakistan since independence. Both the countries had much in common, with a common heritage no better illustrated than our shared love of cricket. “The goodwill surrounding the current tour of Pakistan by the Australian cricket team has been heart-warming and shows yet again the hospitality for which Pakistanis are renowned,” he remarked. Hutchesson said Australia had long supported Pakistan’s efforts to build prosperity and inclusive development, including through water management, rural productivity and gender equality. He said Australia stood with Pakistan in the face of COVID-19, strengthening disease detection capabilities and providing humanitarian assistance. “And we have worked together on transnational security challenges,” he added.
