🇦🇿🇵🇰 At the invitation of H.E. Ambassador @QasimMFA, I attended the flag-hoisting ceremony marking Pakistan Day. The event takes place against the backdrop of heightened regional tensions, as #Pakistan seeks to prevent the spillover of instability from #Afghanistan, including militant activity, cross-border attacks, radicalization, arms trafficking, and transnational terr@rism.
