      <title>EU envoy joins musicians in latest rendition of Pakistan’s national anthem</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30330274/eu-envoy-joins-musicians-in-latest-rendition-of-pakistans-national-anthem</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On the occasion of Pakistan’s 76th Independence Day, European Union Ambassador to Pakistan Dr Riina Kionka joined fellow musicians in a special tribute. Together, they presented a rendition of Pakistan’s national anthem.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the video, different musicians from Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, Punjab, and Islamabad skillfully play various musical instruments. EU Ambassador Kionka is seen playing the trumpet alongside them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/EUPakistan/status/1689876896819855361?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The European Union took X, previously known as Twitter, to congratulate Pakistan on its 76th Independence Day. “This rendition is a celebration of the rich cultural diversity of Pakistan and the power of &lt;a href="/trends/UnityinDiversity"&gt;#UnityinDiversity&lt;/a&gt;,” it wrote in the social media post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users of X, formerly known as Twitter, took to the platform to appreciate this gesture and told Pakistanis to thank the EU envoy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ProfNoman/status/1689926985349201920?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, some users criticised the gesture and told people to focus on democracy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, Kionka also paid tribute to Pakistan on its 75th Anniversary by playing Pakistan’s National Anthem on the trumpet.&lt;/p&gt;
