NEW YORK, March 9: The first-ever

Non-Resident Pakistanis (NRP) summit will be held in New York City on July 5 and 6.

The organiser of the event, Mr Shaukat Mahmood says the idea of the summit evolved from the example set by the Indian diaspora which as a group has contributed approximately 50 per cent to the growth and progress of India.

The Non-Resident Chinese have contributed more than 75 per cent to the growth of China.

The NRP Summit–2008 has been planned to develop strategic insight for future growth and progress in Pakistan among NRPs and others interested in the country’s growth.—Correspondent
