As the main feature of the event, the ‘Pakistan Day Award’ will be given to the prominent Pakistanis in the UAE for their services towards the community. Diplomats will also attend the event.
Schoolchildren will sing national songs while a Pakistan quiz will be engaging the audience. — news@khaleejtimes.com
