UNITED NATIONS, Apr 25 (APP):Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UN, Munir Akram, has expressed the hope that Pakistani-Americans, who are facing a difficult situation resulting from the deadly coronavirus pandemic, will soon return to normal life, as he wished them all the blessings of the holy month of Ramazan.

“My thoughts and prayers are with all our brothers and sisters of the community who are facing a difficult situation because of the cataclysmic threat of COVID-19,” he said in a message released on Friday.
