Benazir Bhutto’s wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in Dubai on Sunday.

Late Benazir Bhutto’s wax figure is the first of a Pakistani personality at the museum’s Dubai location.

Benazir’s son and Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was in attendance at the unveiling ceremony.

Speaking at the ceremony, Bilawal said that his mother was a “symbol of democracy, freedom and equal rights for women across the world” and portrayed the progressive face of Pakistan.

“We have a close attachment to this city and country. We are immensely grateful that the memory of our mother, Benazir Bhutto, is being honoured here in the form of this wax statue,” Bilawal Bhutto Zardari added.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari landed in Dubai earlier in the day.

During his visit, Bilawal will offer condolences to the UAE leadership on the demise of Sheikh Saeed bin Zayed, brother of UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.

The foreign minister would also discuss the entire spectrum of bilateral relations between Pakistan and UAE in a meeting with his Emirati counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Foreign Office said.
