3 months cultural gala kick-starts for Canadian Pakistani youth.

ISLAMABAD -- A three-month-long cultural gala arranged across Canada through a series of online initiatives and programmes to equip the Canadian Pakistani youth with the knowledge and understanding of the language, arts and culture of the country opened in Ottawa Monday.

Attending the inaugural session of the event as part of the cultural diplomacy undertaken by the Pakistan High Commission in Canada, Consul General Janbaz Khan commended the organizers and conveyed them the best wishes of High Commissioner Raza Bashir Tarar.

He hoped that the Pakistani Canadian youth would find the activities interesting and absorbing from the point of view of learning about their culture and heritage, a message received here from Ottawa said.

The Consul General reminded the Canadian Pakistani youth that while Canada was their home, they shared a strong bond with Pakistan which was the land of their parents and forefathers and it was important to be well-equipped with the knowledge and understanding of Pakistan's culture and heritage to negotiate multiple intercultural expressions and manifestations in life.
