KARACHI – The National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) celebrated the nation’s 78th Independence Day with a patriotic and inclusive ceremony at its headquarters, highlighted by a touching performance from the children of Deaf Reach School.
The festivities included the national flag hoisting, the singing of the national anthem, and a cake-cutting ceremony attended by NBP leaders, employees, and their families.
