Appreciation on Appointment of Career Diplomats for Pakistan 

27/10/2018 - PTI’s Overseas Chapters would like to congratulate and express their heartfelt gratitude to the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan for making history yet again. 

One could sense the strong winds of change already with the Foreign Secretary’s powerful speech at the United Nations and display of exceptional statesmanship with issue of blasphemous cartoon competition in Netherlands. Today overseas chapters are even more proud to see the appointments made by the Foreign Office in various countries of key importance to Pakistan and stress the importance of replacing in other embassies as well. 

Overseas Chapters urge the Foreign Ministry to undergo such changes across Pakistan’s embassies around the world. 

Appointment of Career Diplomats is need of the hour. With nepotism out of the door, Pakistan will flourish and its international image will boost and Imran Khan's promise of gaining respect for green passport will be achieved very soon. 

PTI’s Overseas Chapters has a vast network of international elected chapters in more than 20 countries. The Office of International Chapters (OIC) led by Mr. Aizaz Asif has made significant contributions to the party during dharna, elections, and now dam funds. 

Overseas Pakistanis also played an important part in overseas voting. Although the overseas voter turnout was low, this was mainly due to the requirement by the Election Commission of Pakistan requiring both NICOP and Pakistani Passport in order to be eligible for voting. However a vast majority of overseas Pakistanis posses either a NICOP or a passport. As NICOP was strongly pushed by the previous governments in place of the passport. 

The overseas chapters of PTI, would like to unanimously offer our support to the diplomatic missions of Pakistan. Being elected representatives of Pakistani community, we have good relationship with the people and can help to build bridges between overseas Pakistanis and Diplomatic Missions. 

The overseas chapters can help in various ways such as promotion of tourism, organization of cultural events, lobbying in local media and mobilization of public for large scale initiatives such as the dam fundraising.
