Abu Dhabi (TDI): Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, along with Consul General Hussain Muhammad, attended a landmark event at the Pakistan Association Dubai, where the official announcement was made of a new Guinness World Record of the largest UAE flag created using human handprints.
Recognized by Guinness World Records, the flag features 24,514 individual handprints contributed by people from over one hundred nationalities, symbolizing the diversity and unity of the UAE.
The unveiling event was organized at PAD on Thursday, attended by a number of Pakistani and Emirati community members.
The record-setting initiative was a collaborative effort by Pakistan Association Dubai, Emirates Loves Pakistan, and artist Rubab Zahra, who conceptualized the unique artwork completed during a month-long activation drive that started on April 13 in Al Quoz, Dubai.
Praising the efforts of PAD under the leadership of President Dr. Faisal Ikram, the envoy said that these are not merely handprints, but heart prints, an expression of the community’s love, unity and commitment.
He said that this initiative beautifully aligns with the vision of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and stands as a testament to the deep-rooted ties between the Pakistani diaspora and the UAE.
