Mr. & Mrs. Maciej Pisarski, <\/em><\/strong>Ambassador of Poland with Defense Attache and staff hosted the reception to commemorate both the occasions originated in dramatic events at the end of the First World War, when Poland was reborn as a sovereign state after decades of foreign rule and partitions.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n
Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development of the Government of Pakistan was the Chief Guest who spoke highly on bilateral relations and cooperation. He paid homage to Polish Pilots Engineers who contributed a lot in the raising of Pakistan Air Force in the early days of the newly born state from United India.<\/h5>\n
The guests stood in respect of three anthems<\/strong> in this reception.\u00a0 In addition to the Polish and Pakistani anthems, a exert from Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ was also played, which is the European Union\u2019s anthem. Ambassador noted in this regard, “Since Poland<\/strong> is going to assume the Presidency in the European Union<\/strong> from January 1st, 2025, it gives us a special reason to highlight Europe\u2019s unity during our national celebration.” Ambassadors of European Union were present in large number at this occasion.\"\"<\/h5>\n
Ambassador recognized Mr. Nazir Sabir<\/strong><\/em>, a native of Hunza, renowned mountaineer, who became first Pakistani to have climbed Mount Everest in addition to great summits of Pakistan. Mr. Nazir Sabir cooperated with many Polish expeditions and is a honorary member of the Polish Mountaineering Club. He also welcomed\u00a0 Mr. Sirbaz Khan<\/strong><\/em>, the first Pakistani who summited all 14 eight-thousender peaks in the world. Ambassador rightly noted that the passion for mountains is a commonality between the two countries and our friendship has emerged from this passion.\"\"<\/h5>\n
An exhibition of the rare photos of the expeditions of the Polish mountaineers<\/strong> <\/em>was also arranged at the sidelines of the reception. Northern areas have kept fascinating many Polish explores and mountaineers. They imprinted a lasting mark on Polish imagination, sports and culture. Ambassador commented that we grew up in Poland learning about achievements of our climbers.<\/h5>\n
For example, Wanda Rutkiewicz<\/strong> was the first women who claimed K2. Jerzy Kukuczka<\/strong> was only the second climber in the world who scaled all eight-thousanders, including magnificent Pakistani summits. And this year, a team of Polish gliders \u2013 led by world champion Sebastian Kawa \u2013 was first to fly over K2<\/strong> and surrounding mountains. The guests were glad to see incredible footage taken during these flights.<\/h5>\n
“This Polish passion for mountains, for the Pakistani mountains, created an enduring nexus between Polish and Pakistani people. Polish climbers could not have achieved their successes without wisdom, experience and help of their Pakistani friends, Ambassador said.\"\"<\/h5>\n
Spiritual music played by talented women musicians from Hunza led by Ms. Meher Angez Hunzai<\/strong> <\/em>was a new attraction for the guests as they had never know and listened them earlier. Ambassador shared, ” The music of these ladies is like mountains speak to us in a universal and deeply humanistic way. Both invoke mystery, spirituality and freedom. Allow us to transcend our physical boundaries and remind that after all we are one and the same human kind.”<\/h5>\n
Ambassador <\/strong>Maciej Pisarski, <\/em><\/strong>in his welcome address touched a number of topics including regional and international issues as well as bilateral relations.<\/strong> He said , “In Poland\u2019s history, independence and freedom have always been defined by their precarious nature: never given nor to be taken for granted. They had to be fought for and defended. Today is no different (Russia Ukraine).”<\/h5>\n
Ukraine Russia<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The Russian aggression against Ukraine has awakened old demons, who can only be contained by Ukraine\u2019s victory.<\/strong> <\/em>The aggressor must be repelled not rewarded. This is key to a just and lasting peace not only in Europe but also in other corners of the world. For that to happen, we will continue to stand with Ukraine and help the Ukrainian people to defend themselves.” Ambassador of Ukraine was also present.<\/h5>\n
GAZA and Lebanon<\/strong><\/h5>\n
“We will continue to urge for full protection of the civilian population in Gaza and Lebanon<\/strong> and full application of the humanitarian law in that conflict. Poland sent humanitarian aid to those affected. Tragically, one of Polish aid workers was killed while delivering assistance to the Palestinians.<\/strong> Moreover, a just and lasting peace in Middle East can only be ensured when the Palestinian people realize their right to live in their own state, side by side with Israel. Such also is a lesson from the history of my country, H.E Maciej Pisarski <\/em><\/strong>stressed. Ambassador of Palestine was also present.
