SANA'A, Mar. 23 (Saba) - President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi Al-Mashat sent on Tuesday a congratulation cable to President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Arif Alvi.
In the cable, Al-Mashat congratulates Alvi on the occasion of the Pakistani National Day.
Pakistan celebrates annually on March 23rd, which is called "Pakistan Day" to commemorate the 'Lahore Resolution' that eventually led to the creation of Pakistan.
On March 23rd 1940, the Lahore Resolution was passed which rejected the concept of a United India and proposed the creation of an independent state for Muslims, even though it did not actually mention Pakistan at all.
The resolution paved the way for the creation of Pakistan on August 14th 1947, when Pakistan became the world's first Islamic republic.
