The CG Shelton said, "Yesterday, Pakistan celebrated 70 years of independence, and I am incredibly excited to join so many young Pakistanis today to celebrate 70 years of friendship and mutual support between our two great nations.

" Adding that it has been thrilling to listen to program alumni about how the English Access has helped them to succeed in their careers.

"I look forward to hearing about the great achievements of these 400 young people in Karachi and other English Access students throughout the region. That will make the next 70 years even brighter for Pakistan."
