Scottish Conservative MSP Pam Gosal attended the 75th Independence Day celebrations at the Pakistan Consulate in Glasgow.
The West Scotland MSP was invited by the Consul General and recently lodged a motion at the Scottish Parliament celebrating the day.
Dignitaries and members of the Pakistani community from across Scotland were invited to join the celebration, which had a warm family feel to the day that everyone could enjoy.
Ms Gosal said: “It was an absolute privilege to attend the celebrations and I’m very grateful for the time I spent with the Consul General.
“More than 80,000 people of Pakistani origin live have made Scotland their home. This was the perfect opportunity to celebrate their contribution to Scottish society.
“Scotland and Pakistan have long enjoyed a meaningful relationship and it’s very important that we promote links between our two nations at every opportunity.”
