Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhry Asif Mahmood thanked all the guests for their participation and expressed his appreciation for the strong sense of community among Pakistanis living in Japan. He said that Pakistanis abroad form a large family, and gatherings like these provide an important opportunity to stay connected and support one another.
