The British parliamentarians, Pakistan-origin councillors, businessmen, officers of the high commission, media representatives and a large number of members of the Pakistani diaspora in the UK.

He added that during Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, the armed forces responded quickly, firmly, and accurately, showing excellent military skill that gained recognition worldwide.
