The High Commission of Pakistan in Abuja on Friday held a commemorative event to mark Pakistan and its Armed Forces’ first observance of Marqa-e-Haq, paying tribute to the courage, resilience and sacrifices of the Pakistani nation and military during last year’s conflict in South East Asia.

Speaking at the ceremony held weekend, in Abuja, Pakistan’s Chargé d’Affaires, Mr. Muhammad Imran Sarwar, described the occasion as a profound moment of remembrance and national pride.
He said Marqa-e-Haq remains a defining symbol of Pakistan’s unity, steadfastness and unwavering commitment to protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Addressing members of the Pakistani diaspora and community representatives in attendance, Mr. Sarwar praised the professionalism, sacrifices and operational excellence demonstrated by Pakistan’s armed forces during the conflict.
He also commended the patriotism and resilience shown by the Pakistani people during a critical chapter in the nation’s history.
According to him, Pakistan’s capabilities across both conventional and emerging domains are anchored on the principles of responsible deterrence, strategic balance and the preservation of peace.
He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to diplomacy, peaceful coexistence and constructive international engagement, stressing that the country remains fully prepared to defend its national interests against aggression, destabilisation or external threats.

Mr. Sarwar further noted that Marqa-e-Haq is not only a solemn remembrance of sacrifice and national honour, but also a reaffirmation of Pakistan’s principled pursuit of peace through strength, resilience and collective national purpose.

The event drew members of the Pakistani community in Nigeria, diplomats and invited guests, reflecting the importance of the occasion and the strong ties between Pakistan and its diaspora abroad.
