A warm welcome was extended by PAD, under the stewardship of President Dr. Faisel Ikram and its dedicated Board of Directors: Zahid Hassan, General Secretary, Khalid Imtiaz, Joint Secretary and Abubakar Imtiaz, the Head of Public Relations. This visit exemplifies the strong bonds of unity and cooperation that exist within the multicultural community of Dubai.
The Pakistan Association Dubai, renowned as one of the pioneers and the largest CDA-licensed community organization in Dubai, has consistently exhibited remarkable support and hospitality towards all its counterparts.

The shared commitment is to work together in the domains of Culture, Sports, and Welfare activities, fostering a sense of unity among the diverse members of the Dubai community.
