UNITED NATIONS, June 4: Participants in a seminar dubbed “Brand Pakistan” on Saturday stressed the need for efforts by the diaspora to project the country’s image worldwide as a moderate and progressive state and dispel the negative perception through coordinated efforts of community activists.
A large numbers of Pakistanis living in New York participated in the event organised by the Association of Pakistani Professionals.
