Today is World Heritage Day, a day that holds special meaning for Pakistanis as it gives us the opportunity to celebrate our rich culture and heritage, and the beautiful historical monuments and sites that our country possesses.

This day also highlights the need to protect our shared heritage for future generations and to promote cultural understanding and respect for different traditions and religions, with the goal of creating a peaceful, respectful, and inclusive society with a greater appreciation and tolerance for, and interfaith harmony among, different cultures and religions.
