Luton, (Special Correspondents) It is with great pleasure and heartfelt sincerity that I extend my warmest congratulations to the newly elected body of the Pakistan Press Club UK. Your successful election is a reflection of the trust and confidence that the journalist community and the wider Pakistani diaspora repose in your dedication, integrity, and vision.

Journalists play a critical role in society. They are not only the eyes and ears of the public but also the voice of the voiceless. For overseas Pakistanis and Kashmiris, particularly in the UK and Europe, the role of media becomes even more significant. It bridges the gap between the homeland and the diaspora and helps in advocating the challenges, achievements, and aspirations of our communities abroad.

I sincerely hope that under your new leadership, the Pakistan Press Club UK will continue to shine a spotlight on the core issues that matter most to our people — especially the longstanding demand for Mirpur International Airport, which is not just an infrastructural project but a symbol of dignity and connection for millions of overseas Pakistanis. The development of this airport is essential for the people of Mirpur and adjoining areas, and the consistent media coverage can amplify our voices where decisions are made.

Furthermore, I trust that the newly elected members of the Press Club will also keep the plight of Kashmir at the forefront of their reporting and discussions. The Kashmir issue remains unresolved, and while political and diplomatic efforts continue, the media has the power to influence opinion, generate awareness, and galvanize support for a just resolution.

I have full confidence in your abilities to uphold the noble values of journalism and to continue serving as a beacon of truth and responsibility. It is vital that your platform remains open and accessible to all members of our diverse community. Constructive criticism, unbiased reporting, and community engagement must be the pillars on which your work rests.

As the Chairperson of the Mirpur International Airport Movement UK & Europe, I offer you my full support and best wishes. Let us work together, hand in hand, to ensure that the voice of our people never goes unheard. Whether it is the socio-political rights of Kashmiris, the dignity of overseas Pakistanis, or development concerns such as the Mirpur Airport — we look to you to ensure our stories are told with passion and accuracy.

May your term be filled with success, professionalism, and tireless commitment to truth.

Once again, congratulations to all newly elected officials. We stand with you and are confident that you will make us proud.

Haji Chaudhry Mohammad Qurban
Chairperson Mirpur International Airport Movement
(UK & Europe)
