The Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, was the chief guest. More than 600 guests attended, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, ministers, business leaders, designers and members of the creative community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Guests saw fashion from British manufacturers, Pakistani retailers growing their businesses in the UK, and British-Pakistani designers. Bands played well-known British songs with a Pakistani twist. UK chef Tony Tobin worked with the High Commission’s Residence chef on the menu celebrating the best of British and Pakistani cuisine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Jane Marriott CMG OBE, said, \u201cThe British and Pakistani relationship turns great ideas into tangibles that change people’s lives. Together, British creativity and Pakistani enterprise are a powerhouse, and they can create jobs and growth in both our countries. The next chapter of our partnership is about creating, inventing and growing together.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prime Minister, Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, said, \u201cMay Pakistan-UK friendship continue to flourish, and may the bonds between our peoples grow stronger with every passing generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The UK and Pakistan already have strong links. About 1.7 million people of Pakistani heritage live in the UK, and clothing and textiles make up over 75 per cent of UK goods imported from Pakistan. Creativity is also a major part of the UK economy: in 2024, its creative industries added \u00a3146 billion (nearly $200 billion USD) and employed 2.4 million people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have an \u2018Autumn of Growth\u2019: two days before the King’s birthday, on 12 November, the West Yorkshire\u2013Pakistan Summit in Bradford brought together about 100 business, government and university leaders to discuss textiles and food and drink. The UK\u2013Pakistan Trade Dialogue in December, and other investment events planned in the coming weeks will continue this work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
