The 78th Pakistan Day was celebrated with traditional zeal and enthusiasm to mark the passage of 'Lahore Resolution' that led to the creation of a separate homeland for the Muslims of South Asia in 1947. The historic resolution, known as the Pakistan Resolution, was approved on March 23, 1940.
The special feature of this year's parade is Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena's participation, who was the guest of honour of the event. The participation of Sri Lankan president in the parade is a demonstration of close friendly ties between the two countries.
Mechanised columns of various prestigious services of the country exhibited inventory of highly sophisticated and modern weaponry and arsenal. Pakistani armed forces displayed tanks, jets, drones and other weapon systems in the parade.
Civil organisations also showed their material presence at the parade by exhibiting floats, depicting developments achieved by the country, besides the regional culture and heritage.
