ISLAMABAD, Oct 21 (APP):President Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday extended his heartfelt felicitations to Sanae Takaichi on her historic election as the first female Prime Minister of Japan.
In a statement issued here from the Presidency, the president said that her election marks a significant milestone in Japan’s political history and is a testament to the strength of its democratic traditions and commitment to gender equality.
He noted that while Japan has made history by electing its first woman Prime Minister, Pakistan had proudly chosen one of its finest daughters, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, as the first female Prime Minister of the Muslim world almost four decades ago.
The president expressed confidence that under Prime Minister Takaichi’s leadership, Japan will continue to achieve progress and prosperity.
He also expressed the hope that the long-standing and friendly relations between Pakistan and Japan will be further strengthened in the years ahead.
