Owing to the importance and government's concern in resolving problems of Overseas Pakistanis, Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a brief on initiatives of Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development at Islamabad today. The PM instructed the delegation headed by Special Assistant to PM on Overseas Pakistanis Sayed Zulfikar Bukhari to launch the initiatives and address the grievances of Pakistani diaspora at the earliest.
Had an extensive mtg this morning on Overseas Pakistanis. We are going to announce a special package of incentives to encourage them to send remittances through banking channels by removing all hindrances & procedural issues. Philippines did this successfully.

InshaAllah by removing these hindrances we will be able to increase remittance flows from $20 bn to at least $30bn & perhaps even $40 bn through banking channels. https://t.co/rDv8XuXgyS

We are also moving to remove hassles Overseas Pakistanis confront at immigration when they come to Pakistan. Our Missions abroad have also been directed to look after and deal effectively with the concerns of our Overseas Pakistanis. https://t.co/3wSCzpOcxK
