Senate Resolution No. 1725

BY: Senator LIU

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 March 23, 2026, as Pakistan-American Heritage Day in
 the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to all who
foster ethnic pride and enhance the profile of cultural diversity which
thereby strengthens the fabric of the communities of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 23, 2026, as
Pakistan-American Heritage Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Members of the Pakistani-American community demonstrate a
strong work ethic that has enabled them to realize many accomplishments
and find continued success in this State and Nation, and they continue
to excel in a wide range of professions such as education, medicine,
science, technology, business, and industry; and

 WHEREAS, Pakistan-American Heritage Day provides an excellent means
by which all New Yorkers can learn more about the rich Pakistani
heritage while fostering an appreciation for this ancient culture among
future generations; and

 WHEREAS, New York City is the home to 194,000 Pakistani-Americans;
the community of people who came to New York from Pakistan, or who have
ancestral ties to the homeland, share their cherished culture and
traditions with Americans of all backgrounds, and they uphold the
principles of freedom and democracy that are fundamental to life in our
great country; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to acknowledge various
cultures of people who add to the overall diversity of our State, and on
this occasion, we take the opportunity to recognize the contributions
made by the Pakistani-American community and extend best wishes to all
of its members as they hold appropriate ceremonies to commemorate this
historic milestone; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 23, 2026, as
Pakistan-American Heritage Day in the State of New York; and be it
further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; the Pakistani Consulate in New York City; and the American
Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG).
