In Berlin, the occasion was marked by a gathering organised by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Germany General Secretary and POEF Europe Chief Organiser Muhammad Anser Butt. Addressing the participants, Mr Butt highlighted the significance of Sept 6, 1965, recalling the events of the war and paying tribute to the resilience and courage displayed by the Pakistan armed forces.  He said Pakistanis living abroad had stood by their country in the past and continued to support Pakistan and its institutions. A separate gathering was held in Hamburg by Farid Shah, Vice President of the Pakistan German Society and Information Secretary of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Germany. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Shah described the 1965 war as an important chapter in Pakistan\u2019s history, saying it demonstrated national unity, courage and determination. He paid tribute to the sacrifices of the armed forces and expressed confidence in the country\u2019s leadership. Meanwhile, Ghazanfar-ud-Din Ahmed, founding president of the Central Multicultural Mosque, hosted a special get-together where prayers were offered for the elevation of the ranks of those who lost their lives defending Pakistan.
