Pakistan’s Ambassador to the European Union, Belgium, and Luxembourg, Rahim Hayat Qureshi, joined members of the Pakistani Christian community in Brussels to celebrate Easter during a warm and inclusive event held at the Embassy of Pakistan.

The event brought together members of the Christian diaspora, including prominent figures from various churches across Belgium.

During his remarks, the ambassador reaffirmed Pakistan’s strong commitment to religious freedom and the protection of minority rights, as guaranteed by the country’s Constitution. He highlighted the government’s dedication to building a society based on equality, tolerance, and respect for all faiths. Their active civic engagement, he said, plays a key role in strengthening Pakistan’s image globally.
