ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Feb, 2024) Thousands of people gathered at the Jinnah Convention Center here on Saturday to participate in “EuroVillage," a family-focused festival organized by the European Union and its Member States.
This year's celebration centered on the theme of co-creating a sustainable future, entitled "Stronger Together – Sustainable Forever."
The event showcased over 60 years of the strong connection between the EU and Pakistan, highlighting the collaborative partnership in development, trade and investment, culture, education, environment and a wide array of other areas said a news release.
In her welcome remarks, Ambassador of the European Union to Pakistan, Dr. Riina Kionka, noted: “EuroVillage is a special event for us; we cherish the people-to-people connections it offers. This year, we want you to experience our journey of co-creating a sustainable future. Europe has the ambition to be the first climate-neutral continent but also wants to support its partners toward the green transition. Pakistan is one of the countries at the greatest risk from climate change.
The EU is working with Pakistan to help address challenges and create a sustainable future for all.”
