Policy about overseas Pakistanis soon


ISLAMABAD, Jan 30: The government is in the final stages of consultation before announcing its first-ever overseas Pakistanis policy. This was stated by Minister of State for Overseas Pakistanis Senator Tariq Azeem while talking to PPI here on Sunday.

The policy is aimed at encouraging and strengthening the contribution made in various fields by the overseas Pakistanis. "So much has been the emphasis on the remittances of the overseas Pakistanis that we have overlooked their contribution in other fields such as investment, tourism and human resources development."

He said his ministry was also planning six regional conventions for the expatriates in areas of their concentration.
