MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
I congratulate the entire nation on Pakistan Day. Pakistan was established after great sacrifices and untiring efforts of our founding fathers and workers of the Pakistan Movement.
Today, we face significant political, economic, and security challenges. Pakistan must navigate complex realities, tackle economic pressures, and pursue sustainable development.
We continue to confront the menace of terrorism and our brave Armed Forces are making immense sacrifices to safeguard our homeland.
Yet, we possess the potential to overcome these challenges and emerge stronger. The spirit of the Pakistan Resolution reminds us that Unity, Faith, and Discipline should be our guiding principles for success. We must strengthen national security, revitalise the economy, advance agriculture, ensure energy security, and create opportunities for our youth. We must invest in healthcare and social welfare so that no Pakistani is left behind.
Following a foreign policy under the guidelines given by the Father of the Nation, Pakistan continues to advocate for peaceful coexistence, regional stability, and mutual cooperation. We are determined to build stronger relationships with our neighbours and the global community, based on mutual respect and shared prosperity. At the same time, we remain steadfast in defending our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies have made immense sacrifices to protect our homeland, and we salute their bravery.
On this day, we reaffirm our steadfast support for the people of Palestine in their struggle for self-determination.
The road ahead is challenging, but not impossible. Let us honour the sacrifices of our heroes by shaping a strong, united, and prosperous Pakistan.

MESSAGE OF THE PRIME MINISTER
This day stands as a defining moment in the history of South Asia’s Muslims. Eighty-five years ago, on March 23rd, the visionary Muslim leadership of the subcontinent united with an unwavering resolve to lay the foundation for an independent homeland.
Guided by the inspiring leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, they envisioned a state where Muslims could live with dignity, freedom, and self-respect – a land shaped by their aspirations and values.
On this landmark day in 1940, the Lahore Resolution set the course for that vision. Just seven years later, Pakistan emerged as an independent nation – a testament to the unyielding spirit, perseverance, and sacrifices of our forefathers.
Over the decades, Pakistan has shown extraordinary strength. From an emerging nation to a nuclear power, our journey has been shaped by perseverance and determination. Yet, this is not where we stop. It will take tireless effort and a collective vision to realise the dream of our founding father.
Our economy is now on a path to sustained growth. Inflation is declining, investor confidence rising, and macroeconomic fundamentals improving.
We salute our martyrs and security forces whose sacrifices keep us united and strong.
Let Pakistan Day in Ramadan renew our commitment to perseverance, unity, and progress.
Pakistan Paindabad!

PAKISTAN DAY MESSAGE FROM PAKISTAN SCHOOL, BAHRAIN
Pakistan Day holds a special place in the hearts of every Muslim in the subcontinent. Each year, on March 23rd, we commemorate the adoption of the Pakistan Resolution in 1940 at Lahore, which symbolizes the ideals of national unity, social justice, religious harmony, economic equality, legal protection, cultural tolerance, an enlightened vision for the future, the elimination of ethnic and religious differences, and above all, a patriotic commitment to these ideals.
On this significant day, Pakistan School extends its warmest wishes to all our fellow compatriots in Bahrain. Let us salute and remember the sacrifices and struggles of countless individuals who contributed to this great achievement.
May this day be a reminder of the unity, strength, and pride that binds our nations. Wishing everyone a joyous and prosperous Pakistan Day!
We are pleased to share a brief overview of Pakistan School, Bahrain, on this joyous occasion.
Schooling System
The baseline of Pakistan School goes back to the later part of the 1960s when the leading visionary members of the community realized the need for a schooling system for their children, leading to the establishment of a small primary school in 1968 in a rented building in Fareej Fadhel area of Manama. After a few years, the school was upgraded to secondary level education following affiliation with the Federal Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.
In 1984, the new campus of the Pakistan School was constructed in Isa Town, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander, and First Deputy Premier.
Two new blocks, Jinnah Block and Sir Sayed Block, were constructed in Isa Town Campus, between 1994-95.
