The Forum aims
to help individuals of Pakistani and Indian origin, two of
Britain’s
intrinsic communities, to come closer to each other, to create
better understanding, thus leading to stronger community cohesion in
Britain.

both
India and Pakistan will present a cultural programme at the event.

have worked to promote better social cohesion.
Dr. Rami Ranger

British Citizens and interdependent on one another. We cannot afford
to look back and instead we must look forward. The Friendship Forum
aims to leave a better legacy for the next generation so that they
do not have to carry the baggage which their parents did for 60
years.”
