this is the desk where i spend most of my time, this is the place where i do my diplomatic work. the main task is to protect the interests of my nation. in addition, among our tasks is to develop relations between our countries in various areas. this includes education.

the minister of defense and industry of pakistan also visited belarus. all these visits were quite successful and fruitful. of course, we strive to develop, first of all, political ties between pakistan and belarus. and the prime minister of pakistan i have met with the head of your state several times in the last year alone.

in addition, we have held exhibitions twice at the national library of belarus. we have held exhibitions in various cities, including orsha and borisov. and we participated not only in exhibitions, but also in a choreographic festival and in various master classes that were held both at the university of culture and at the children and youth center of borisov. also in the art gallery of the university of culture. i would like to separately note that this year we opened the pakistani cultural center at the gomel medical university. urdu day, which took place

on november 9 within the walls of mslu. we also opened a cultural and language center there. on november 14, we took part in the prodexpo exhibition. where a master class on cooking pakistani food, a presentation, and our belarusian friends were able to taste the best dishes of traditional pakistani cuisine took place. and for the first time, pakistan took part in the listopad festival, where we showed two films. in 2024, pakistan and belarus will celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of diplomatic relations in as part of the celebration.

i will tell you very quickly that here you can observe the evolution of relations between the two countries, starting from 2015, when the prime minister of pakistan came to belarus, and also until 2020, when i presented my credentials to the head of state. i would like to share with you that i first came to belarus in august 2015.

just a couple of days ago, i celebrated my third anniversary in belarus as an ambassador, since then i can say that my positive impressions have only increased, and i became even more convinced that this country is truly wonderful, and the people here are just as wonderful. in fact, i have not

encountered many difficulties in official work, because i have a great team working with me. who support all my ideas, as for the climate, yes, of course, i came from jakarta at that time, where the temperature in october was 32 degrees, when i arrived in minsk, the temperature was about 8 °, despite the fact that pakistan is a country where you can be in different climate zones at the same time, where there is access to the sea, this is in the south of the country, the weather can be warm. and the area where i was born, it is 2000 m above sea level, and the weather there is quite cold. but nevertheless, of course, the harsh belarusian

winter greeted us with open arms. and we had to adapt a little. which took several weeks. then we got used to it, bought warm clothes, and now we have a good attitude. as for the language barrier, initially, of course, there were some difficulties, but in my team at the embassy excellent staff who always help me. language with their secretary for public relations, tatyana kremes. and for 8 months we studied russian every day. the classes were about 45-60 minutes. and in these 8 months i mastered the textbook.

i will stay here for a while longer, my official mission ends at the end of june of the twenty

-fourth year, but what i would like to note is the desire of belarusians to preserve their culture cultural heritage, this is what i will keep in my heart, also the desire of belarusians to perform, to carry out tasks, to work without any instructions, their ability to do everything as well as possible, i have observed this not in one person or two, i have observed this among... a large number of people, as you understand, i attend a huge number of events and communicate with a wide range of people, so, this has always amazed me, also their sincere smiles, respect for people, acceptance of different points of view, despite any weather conditions, despite any hardships of life, belarusian people are always ready to enjoy weather, situation and life in general, friendliness of belarusian people -

walk from thrush to the city center and enjoy the beauty of nature. my children

are currently studying in berlin at the university. for these 3 years they have come at least two or three times a year, they love, of course, belarus. they have visited other cities, and minsk is the most favorite place. since my parents moved to minsk, i have visited this city five times going to the beautiful parks that you guys. belarusians are very friendly and open people. i really enjoy have.

of course, the kitchen is one of those places where i, so to speak, spend the most time, i really try to learn belarusian cuisine, combine, mix elements of pakistani and belarusian cuisine, so far i have mastered draniki and borscht, it can already be said, they have become our two favorite dishes of belarusian cuisine, that is, in

winter i prefer borscht, the rest of the year - draniki. i mainly do this to study belarus, for example, i really like to go for walks, walk in various parks, fortunately there are a lot of them in the country, and here the closest ones are thrushes, i also really like the victory park, it is a very large, very modern park, moreover, i adhere to some kind of cultural program, i visit various theaters, museums, for example, when guests from pakistan come to us,

you book, which is called shades of pakistan guide in pictures. the official presentation of this book will take place in 2024 as part of the book fair. this book is in two languages, in english and russian, it will introduce you to the most interesting and beautiful sights of pakistan.

if we talk about the development of golf in our country, then of course we did not have golf instructors, we attracted them. here i am very grateful, when we were just starting out, and for several years we were helped, including by the embassy of pakistan, for example, they invited their golf pro. who taught our golfers to play now his students are already winning prizes in other tournaments. there are several qualities a golf should have among them patience. in fact, to play golf you need to have about twenty to thirty

different qualities. but some of the most fundamental ones are, of course, patience, endurance, attention. commitment to business, many people think that when you play golf , it is very simple, but in fact, there are many different characteristics of this game, for example, at what angle to hold the club, how to swing correctly, how to hit correctly, how strong is the force of the blow, in addition to this , endurance is needed, because players can face different circumstances, for example, how to hit a ball out of the woods and throw it across the river, so from this whole big list, i think that these are all the main ones... it doesn't fit in 2016 one of my friends invited me to golf in a club in islamabad, well, that's where my story with golf began. people who

play golf will agree with me when i say that golf is a kind of addiction, because you need to be really addicted to this game to play decently, so you understand, for example, golf per day consists of about 6 8- 10 hours, that is, together with the road to get here, then play, train.

meeting new people, making new acquaintances - this in itself is already a reward. i am still an amateur comprehending this art, but nevertheless i can proudly tell

you that the previous twenty-third year was very successful for me. i won four awards, bmw. you can say that since it is a sport, it is good for health. but once again i repeat that golf is not just a game, it is a lifestyle, and as i have already noted, 4, 5, 6 hours a day you play with some people, you make new acquaintances, you communicate, share some ideas, plans, in any country, wherever you go, on a golf course, it will always be the best location, the best nature, just to study, to play on this beautiful site - this is already relaxation in itself. and i can say that i get a rich life experience, first of all, and secondly, it helps me to relax, gain strength and energy,

for example, my friends with whom i played golf in indonesia, we still support with them the connection is increasingly connecting us, also i had the opportunity to make new acquaintances make friends on the minsk golf course, you can play by yourself also. the center where we are now was opened in january twenty-third year, and here you can see the most popular products that pakistan is famous for, and

which pakistan also exports to others. these are leather swords that are used for international championships, these are fabrics, these are textile products, these are surgical instruments, leather goods, salt lamps and many other different subjects. i can say that the work of a diplomat, or a diplomatic mission never ends, it only has a starting point, and of course, the potential for developing relations.

in the near future, my immediate task is to promote the culture of pakistan and the image of pakistan in belarus in general, i would like to say that after myself, of course, i will leave a lot of developments. belarus is my second home. in order to keep myself in shape, i usually use training, rational nutrition, in principle, sleepy rest, that is

the same recommendations as absolutely.
