The High Commission of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in Colombo today celebrated Pakistan’s 78th National Day.

The HC said in a media release that the day was marked “traditional fervour and resolve to make Pakistan a strong, vibrant, progressive and democratic welfare State.”

“The National Day commemorates the outstanding achievement of the Muslims of Sub-Continent who passed the historic “Pakistan Resolution” on this day at Lahore in 1940, which culminated in the creation of Pakistan after seven years,” it said.
