It was an exciting day on Parliament Hill on this date in 1950 with the arrival of Pakistan’s first post-independence Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan. Louis St.-Laurent introduced the distinguished visitor to Canadian parliamentarians.
“The future of Pakistan,” St. Laurent said, “notwithstanding differences in religion and language, in customs and habits, notwithstanding lands and oceans which separate it from Canada, is closely related to our own through our common association in the United Nations, our partnership in the Commonwealth, and, most of all, in our common belief in those values which form the very basis of democratic life.
