“Our warmth and hospitality foremost, and then of course the food, heritage and our resilience.”
Usman Mukhtar
“The cultural diversity as Pakistan is rich in food, language, ethnicity and we can go from one province to the other and be exposed to a completely new culture, which is very exciting. Secondly, the hospitality, I mean you can knock on any door and request for a cup of chai and it will be served to you. People in Pakistan are generally very hospitable, they like entertaining guests and it’s a part of our cultural upbringing as a nation. Lastly, it is the most charitable country across the world as it is known for its philanthropy and be it Pakistanis within Pakistan or expat Pakistanis, they will always contribute to our charitable causes which is one of the strengths of our economy.”

Fakhr-e-Alam
“Pakistan is a land of great magic and mystery. It is also home to Biafo Glacier – the largest glacial system outside of the Polar Regions and not to forget, it had the world’s youngest Microsoft certified engineer, Arfa Kareem. We have the highest paved roads in the world such as the Karakoram highway but to simplify the answer as to what separates Pakistan from the rest of the world is it’s amazing people with an even more amazing national spirit that stands resilient in the face of huge challenges and its natural beauty as well as the great food.”
Aagha Ali
“The music that we produce from our folk and rock to pop genre as well as patience, as us being Pakistanis, whenever we travel abroad apart from our usual tour always have to experience something due to our passport yet we remain calm, and lastly, our dramas as no one in the world makes such good television plays as us in its purest form.”
Adnan Malik
Secondly, we are very sensitive and emotional as a nation and are blindsided by this, and lastly, as a country that’s more vertical than horizontal, we have a diverse set of landscapes and climates at a very short distance from each other. Pakistan, if cared for, and if we were more judicious in our use of plastic bags, is a beautiful country.”
