Participants carrying Pakistan’s national flag gathered in Antwerp, known as the City of Diamonds, where the Chairman of the EU-Pak Friendship Federation (Europe) announced plans to expand these gatherings globally. The federation aims to strengthen connections between overseas Pakistanis and their homeland.

During the event, attendees passed a resolution emphasizing the importance of increasing remittances to support Pakistan’s economy. The gathering brought together members of the Pakistani community from various parts of Belgium.

The demonstration follows similar events organized by the Pakistani diaspora across European cities, including Spain’s Barcelona, Italy’s Brescia, and Belgium’s capital Brussels. These rallies reflect ongoing engagement efforts by overseas Pakistani communities in Europe.

The EU-Pak Friendship Federation, which coordinated the event, serves as a platform for Pakistani expatriates in European countries to maintain cultural and economic ties with Pakistan.
