DiplomaticQuarter: Saudi-Pakistan ties unique and deep-rooted in history, says diplomat 

Khalid Majid, consul general of Pakistan in Jeddah, extended warm greetings to expatriates living in Saudi Arabia on the National Day of Pakistan.

The holiday is celebrated on March 23 every year and commemorates the passage of the Lahore Resolution in 1940 when leaders of the sub-continent set the agenda of a separate homeland for Muslims. 

Seven years later, Pakistan was founded under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. 

“It was a historic feat as Pakistan was achieved without war and practically by moral and intellectual force,” Majid said.
