Ambassador's Message

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of Pakistan in Madrid which is also concurrently accredited to Andorra.

Pakistan and Spain relations are based on mutual respect and collaboration between two countries which is resonated in cooperation at both bilateral and multilateral levels. These relations are further cemented by the presence of Pakistani diaspora in Spain who have embedded into the local culture resulting in the creation of a unique mix of Pakistani-Spanish Culture.

My team has updated the website to make it more convenient to use and informative. We hope that this website would provide you with a glimpse of what Pakistan has to offer.

In particular I invite you to have a look at our culture and tourism section which provides an introduction to our diverse and colourful heritage as well as practical information for visitors to Pakistan.

Pakistan is a proud owner of vibrant array of cultures and diverse traditions. From the artful expression of devotion through calligraphy and soulful qawwalis, to our modern rappers and rockers our cultural tapestry is dynamic and eye-catching. Pakistan hosts beautiful green terrain in north for leisure travelers, snow covered mountains for thrill seekers and a gastronomically appetizing array of cuisine for food lovers. For history buffs, we have Lahore that narrates stories of Mughal era and Peshawar which is one of the oldest cities of South Asia.

There is something for everyone!! People who have visited Pakistan have fallen in love with it.

My team and I are available for any support needed by our friends and community in Spain.

Khush Aamdeed and
