Musicians liven up diplomats' gathering
The Asian Study Group hosted its annual end-of-year celebration, bringing together diplomats, expatriates and local dignitaries for an evening of music and entertainment.
The event featured live performances by Jimmy, the electrifying Dholwala, who is known for his high-energy performances, the acclaimed Qawwal, Babar Ali & his group, who came all the way from Lahore. The diverse line-up of musicians wound up the evening's activities by bringing their own unique expertise to light up the evening.
British High Commissioner to Pakistan Jane Marriot, who is the Patron of ASG, stated in her address, "It is a real pleasure to welcome you all to this special end-of-year celebration, 'Colours of Pakistan'. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all those who have made this evening possible, including the wonderful Aziz Boolani and our partners at Serena Hotel for their generous collaboration. In particular, I want to recognise the Asian Study Group for an outstanding year of programmes. Tonight is a fitting culmination of that work".
Greta Weber, who is currently visiting Islamabad, when asked to comment on the evening stated "As a visitor, it is fantastic to see so many diverse groups coming together to celebrate Pakistan's amazingly rich culture!"
Winding up the evening, ASG Chairperson Perveen Malik stated "This special event reflects ASG's commitment to strengthening ties between Islamabad's external, expat and local communities through culture and shared celebrations."
