Pakistan has received a wonderful gift of 100 tonnes of dates from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as a peace gesture and in the spirit of Islamic unity. The dates were bestowed on the proposal of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Nawaf Bin Said Al-Maliki, the Saudi ambassador to Pakistan, and Dr. Khalid M. Al-Othmani, the director of the King Salman Humanitarian Assistance & Relief Centre, presented the federal government with the shipment of dates during a ceremony that took place at the Saudi Royal Embassy in Islamabad.
The dates will likely be dispersed throughout Pakistan during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is observed by all Muslims. Muslims fast from dawn till sunset during this month and break their fast with dates. The Saudi Arabian donation of dates is a testament to the country’s dedication to helping those in need, especially during inflationary times.
Dates would be divided fairly and equally, Pakistan has promised, and it has thanked the Kingdom for its kind contribution. Strong diplomatic ties exist between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and the gift of dates is evidence of their ongoing cooperation and partnership.
Because it is the guardian of the two holiest mosques in Makkah and Madinah, Saudi Arabia is regarded as having a particular place in the hearts of Muslims all around the world, especially in Pakistan. A reminder of the importance of Islamic unity and brotherhood is provided by the gift of dates. Both nations have also collaborated closely on religious matters.
