    SPEECH OF THE

    HONOURABLE SPEAKER
    ON
    THE RECEPTION
    HELD TO CELEBRATE THE 22nd INDEPENDENCE DAY
    OF
    UKRAINE

    Excellency Lakomov Volodymyr

    Ambassador of the brotherly Republic of Ukraine and our Host tonight!

    Distinguished Guests, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen!

    Assalam-u-Alaikum and a very Good Evening to all of you!

    It is indeed a matter of pleasure and privilege for me to join our Ukrainian friends here in
    celebrating the 22nd Anniversary of their great nation’s independence.

    Excellency!

    On behalf of the Parliament and People of Pakistan --- and on my personal behalf --- please
    accept our heartiest felicitations and warm wishes on this happy occasion.

    This day marks the rebirth of the great power, which had left a strong imprint on the world
    history. The progress and development of today’s Ukraine is indeed a reflection of its
    glorious past as a seat of a rich culture and civilization for centuries.

    Pakistan attaches great value to its relation with Ukraine

    Our bilateral relations have always been friendly and both nations have strived for
    strengthening these bonds. We celebrated the 20th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations last
    year and reaffirmed our partnership, based on mutual trust, respect and cooperation.

    It is indeed encouraging to note that in all these years, we have succeeded in developing a
    meaningful relationship as our two sides are actively cooperating in diverse areas of defense,
    agriculture, education, science and technology.

    Similarly, our respective parliaments are also playing a pro-active role in further cementing
    these relations.

    In my recent meeting with the Ambassador, I was pleases to know that a strong Parliamentary
    Friendship Group exists in the Verkhovna Rada--- the Parliament of Ukraine.
    The presence of such a Group speaks of a genuine desire of the Legislators to invoke the
    dictums of parliamentary diplomacy for creating better understanding. I, therefore, avail this
    opportunity to announce that in the National Assembly of Pakistan, we have also established
    Pakistan-Ukraine Friendship Group. According to its rules, the Speaker is the President of
    this Group and in this capacity, I have nominated senior and seasoned Parliamentarian, Dr.
    Tariq Fazal Chaudhary as the Convener of this Group. I am sure that under his leadership and
    with the able advice of Ambassador Volodymyr and our Foreign Office, this Group with
    become a bridge between the two parliaments.

    At the same time, I also expect that the two respective Groups will soon hold joint meetings
    and will guide our two sides in finding new ways and areas to further enhance the existing
    cooperation.

    Ladies and Gentlemen!

    I am reminded of a famous saying from Ukraine:

    “The road to a friend’s house is never too long”.

    Ukraine and Pakistan may be separated from each other by a distance of around 4,000
    kilometers of land but the warmth, respect and love between Kiev and Islamabad is strong
    enough to bind us through thick and thin ----sorrows and joys----hard times and good times.

    It is, indeed, an all-weather friendship.

    So as your true friends, Mr. Ambassador, let me once again congratulate you and all brothers
    and sisters of Ukraine on their 22nd Independence Day.

    Long Live Pakistan Ukraine Friendship.

    I thank you All
