TEHRAN – The chargé d’affaires of the Pakistani Embassy in Tehran has thanked Iranian calligraphers for raising funds for Pakistani flood victims.

Dr. Aman Rashid delivered certificates to over twenty calligraphers in a function held at the Pakistani Embassy on Monday.
Tehran’s Imam Ali (AS) Religious Arts Museum hosted an exhibition of calligraphy artworks in October in which over 140 top Iranian calligraphers participated and raised 50 million tomans ($50,000) for the flood-stricken people of Pakistan.
Pakistan diplomat also thanked the Supreme Leader and Iranian people for the assistance they had provided to his countrymen during the flood crisis.
“Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s passionate appeal for the generous donations for flood victims has left a deep imprint on the hearts and minds of the flood victims in Pakistan which they would remember for ever,” Dr. Rashid said.
“The Iranian government’s generous contribution and dispatch of relief assistance worth of millions of dollars through land and sea route as well as Iranian Red Crescent Society’s establishment of relief camps in various places need special acknowledgement,” he added.
The diplomat went on to say that the government and the entire Pakistani nation are grateful to their Iranian brethren for their humanitarian gesture in their hour of need.
“But I must say that the arrangement of calligraphy exhibition by Imam Ali Museum to raise funds for flood victims in Pakistan and donation of works of arts by all of you free of cost is a unique gesture,” Dr. Rashid stated.
