New York City is home to over 200,000 Pakistani Americans who work hard, live peacefully and respect and cherish the beauty of America.

Our goal as the American Pakistani Advocacy Group is to engage, empower, and elevate the Pakistani-American community so that we can deconstruct the malignant narratives that surround our people!

There is a famous quote by Mohammad Ali Jinnah “With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.

APAG wants to achieve a seat on the political table for Pakistani American community and have our voices heard into actions.

APAG will keep playing its role by consistently engaging with top City and State institutions like City Council and the New York State Assembly.

Thanks to all Political leaders who took part in the ceremony actively and affirmed their commitment to work with Pakistani American Community.

In a landmark acknowledgment of the invaluable contributions of the Pakistani-American community, the New York State Assembly adopted two significant resolutions, proclaiming March 23, 2025, as “Pakistan-American Heritage Day” and March 19, 2025, as “Pakistani-American Business Celebration Day” in the State of New York.

These resolutions represent a salient milestone, achieved through the dedicated efforts of the American Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG) and its President Mr. Ali Rashid.

Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States, H.E. Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, and Consul General Aamer Ahmed Atozai attended the sessions of the New York State Assembly and Senate in Albany. Both dignitaries, along with APAG President Ali Rashid, were duly recognized and honored in the two legislatures.

Also, special thanks for Assembly member Nader Sayegh and Senator John Liu for sponsoring these resolutions and all the other legislatures for co-sponsoring it.

The 41st Annual Pakistan Day Parade New York City -2025, opened up by its organizers bringing greetings and welcoming VIP, Political leaders and marchers alongside the attendee’s in attendance.
