A Christmas cake was cut, and gifts were presented to the Christian staff members in appreciation of their dedicated services, according to the Embassy press release on Thursday. Speaking in the occasion, Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh highlighted the importance of religious tolerance and coexistence. \u201cPakistan is a multicultural, multilingual and multi-ethnic society. It is a place whose socio-cultural, religious, and other traditions have been nurtured and matured over millennia,\u201d the Ambassador said. Christmas, he said, is not just a happy occasion for the followers of Christianity; it is a joyous occasion for people all around the world. \u201cWe Muslims believe that Christ was a prophet among the chosen messengers of God, one who merited the grace and respect of a revealed scripture,\u201d Ambassador Sheikh said. The Ambassador said that the UN resolutions on interfaith harmony represented global consensus on interfaith harmony and on discouraging incitement to hatred within the universally accepted human rights framework.\u201cWe wish our Christian brethren a joyous and festive celebration,\u201d the Ambassador said in his message. \u201cI wish the New Year 2026 brings peace, progress, and prosperity to the entire world, and that the spirit of Christmas is cherished by mankind not only in 2026 but throughout the months and years ahead,\u201d he concluded.
