In the sacred month of Ramazan, a three-day Iftar reception is being organized for hundreds of local common people of Gwadar by the Chinese embassy in collaboration with Helping Hand Foundation Gwadar and China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC) on Wednesday (today).
According to Gwadar Pro, the Chinese Embassy wished the local people of Gwadar a very blissful Ramadan. COPHC is sponsoring the Iftar program which will last for three days – Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
More than 200 people of Gwadar belonging to the lower strata of society will be served at Iftar time daily for three days. Elaborate Iftar will include fresh water, drinks, traditional delights (sweet and salty), meals, and local dishes.
A COPHC official said that under the CSR framework, COPHC is arranging the special Iftar receptions for Muslim residents of Gwadar, considering them brothers.
“A few days back, COPHC also held an Iftar reception for local journalists and office bearers of Gwadar Press Club,” he added. After Iftar dinner, Gwadar Press Club officials paid respectful remarks to China and COPHC, saying such a heart-winning gesture would help connect Gwadar people to the government of China and Chinese companies.
