Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Pakistani Ambassador to UAE, acknowledged the collaborative efforts undertaken by the Pakistan Consulate-General, Dubai.
“We have mobilised swiftly to address the needs of our fellow Pakistanis, with a particular focus on those stranded at Dubai airport. Led by Hussain Muhammad and his team, we have been on the ground, helping and supporting those in need. Our commitment to serving our community remains unwavering, and we stand ready to extend further aid as required. Together, we are stronger, and together, we will overcome any challenges that come our way," said Tirmizi.
A team from the consulate also met Pakistani cricket players Misbah-Ul-Haq, Abdur Razzaq, Umer Gul and Kamran Akmal, who were waiting at the Dubai airport due to a delayed flight en route to Houston, US.
The Community Welfare Wing of Pakistan’s Consulate General in Dubai coordinated with Social Centre Sharjah, and Pakistan Association Dubai to help Pakistani expats who are facing difficulties in getting access to daily commodities.
