On 27 September 2022, the US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome attended the flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border, where Punjab Rangers and the Indian border force marched and performed choreographed moves. The visiting dignitary applauded the crowd’s enthusiasm for the flag-lowering ceremony.
During his three-day maiden visit to Pakistan’s cultural capital since his arrival, the US envoy did more than just watch the flag-lowering ceremony at Wagah. He also praised Lahore’s cultural heritage.
Blome said the US government was proud of playing its role in the preservation of the cultural sites in different parts of the country through the Ambassador’s Fund, adding that projects like cultural restoration exemplify the depth and breadth of our partnership.
