By: Goodluck E. Adubazi, Abuja.
In a statement on Thursday, 14th, August 2025, Mr. Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa,
Spokesperson, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, conveyed, The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, warmest congratulations and best wishes to His Excellency, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, on the momentous occasion of Pakistan’s Independence Anniversary.
This day stands as a proud reminder of the Pakistani people’s enduring resilience, determination, and unity in their historic pursuit of self-determination. As Pakistan marks this significant anniversary, Nigeria joins in celebrating the shared ideals of freedom, dignity, and mutual respect that form the foundation of relations between our two nations.
Nigeria and Pakistan enjoy a long history of cordial relations and fruitful cooperation—bilaterally and within multilateral fora such as the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the United Nations. Our partnership is strengthened by collaboration in education, trade, defence, and cultural exchange, as well as our shared commitment to global peace and sustainable development.
On this special occasion, Nigeria reaffirms its dedication to deepening these bonds, exploring new areas of mutual benefit, and working closely with Pakistan to address shared global challenges. We value the friendship between our countries and look forward to many more years of productive cooperation.
Once again, we congratulate the Government and people of Pakistan on this joyful celebration and wish them continued progress, unity, and prosperity in the years ahead.
