Speaking on the occasion, the Pakistani High Commissioner said Pakistan’s relations with Canada are vibrant, close, and cordial and this cultural event is a manifestation and demonstration of our friendship.

Furthermore, he told the audience that  Pakistan’s vibrant truck art was deeply entrenched in its culture and had become part of our social fabric. Pakistan’s truck art has moved from trucks and buses to walls and galleries and now it is doing the rounds around the globe, manifesting its vibrancy and colors, he said.

Mayor of Ottawa Jim Watson thanked the Pakistan High Commission and the truck artists flown from Pakistan for turning a white wall in the city into a beautiful attraction for the people to come and see Pakistan’s truck art. He welcomed the High Commissioner to Canada, saying Canada enjoys “a very strong, positive relationship with Pakistan”.
