ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Islamabad has gifted 100 customized wheelchairs to the disabled people in Pakistan at an event held at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The event was attended by President Dr. Arif Alvi, First Lady Samina Alvi, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Pakistan Ali Alizada, and a number of disabled persons including children.
In his address at the Wheelchair Distribution Ceremony, the president said that persons in the society deserved access to education and employment as their “equitable right, and not as charity”.
“The State is responsible to transform the society in a way that it accepts and mainstreams the differently-abled persons in all segments of life,” the president said.
