While accepting the award, Akbar said the award shows the power of connections between the UK and Pakistan, between people living abroad and their home country, and between dreams and real success.
He also encouraged Pakistanis living overseas to use their knowledge and skills to help Pakistan grow:
“We all want Pakistan to move forward, and overseas Pakistanis have a global view that can lead this change. I believe Pakistan has a bright future. With smart planning, technology, and its hidden strengths, we can solve problems and build strong industries.”
Akbar concluded his speech by urging all Pakistanis, wherever they may be, to collaborate in creating a better future for the country.
