The event, attended by members of the Pakistani community and diplomats, including Consul General Hussain Muhammad, celebrated the duo's impact on promoting Pakistani culture globally.

Ambassador Tirmizi highlighted the role of artists like Khan and Saeed in elevating Pakistan's cultural identity on the international stage, stating, "The creative arts are one of Pakistan’s strongest forms of soft power. Artists like Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed bring our stories to the world and strengthen our cultural identity."
