The announcement was made at a special unveiling ceremony held on Thursday at Pakistan Auditorium, where a Guinness World Records adjudicator verified and confirmed the record. The event was attended by Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Ambassador of Pakistan to the UAE, Consul General Hussain Muhammad, and esteemed representatives from the Pakistani and Emirati communities.

"The UAE has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, becoming a beacon of tolerance and innovation,” said Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, Ambassador of Pakistan.

“This initiative by PAD is a wonderful tribute to that spirit. Well done to the team whose hard work and dedication brought this powerful vision to life.”

The title was jointly awarded to PAD, Emirates Loves, and artist Rubab Zahra, the visionary behind the artwork.

This landmark achievement marked the culmination of PAD’s month-long Hands of Unity campaign - a tribute to the UAE Year of Community. The campaign saw participation from 23 schools and universities, 39 activation sites, and thousands of individuals across the Emirates.
