Karachi has become the 17th city of the world which has entered into sister cities relationship with Houston.On this occasion Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal said that Karachi is the face of Pakistan and Karachi is the biggest city of the Muslim Ummah and today we as well as the whole Muslim Ummah are the biggest victim of our own bad perception, our marketing all over the world from the Muslim community as well as from Pakistan had been very poor and we must accept that and we are getting this opportunity by formally engaging with Houston and we will be sharing each and every deed of ours and the world would get a chance to evaluate us as Pakistan and as a Muslim.

Nazim Karachi said that this is very important for us that we are becoming the front line city of the Muslim Ummah for this part of world to show who we are, what we do, what is our mentality and what are the good deeds that we have done so far for human beings. He said that through Karachi this part of the world would know Pakistan and the good deeds of the Muslim Ummah, Muslim cities and Muslim countries as Karachi represents all district governments in Pakistan.

Nazim Karachi said that although this is not the prime job of any district government to market Karachi and Pakistan as the Government of Pakistan has foreign offices all over the world but instead of waiting for that we have come to this part of the world for showing our deeds and for showing Karachi. And showing the good deeds of Pakistani administration and Karachi administration.

He thanked Mayor of Houston City Bill White, his whole team, the people of Houston and especially cited the name of M.J Khan, the president of Houston Karachi Sister Cities Association for being the very vital player in this whole process.Nazim Karachi said that on behalf of the 18 million people of Karachi and on behalf of the people of Pakistan and on behalf of all districts of Pakistan I thank you all for giving me this opportunity.
