LAHORE: The Pakistan Consul General in New York Raja Ali Ejaz hosted a dinner in honour of the overseas businessmen in the USA. The meeting discussed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s upcoming visit to the USA and his meetings with the overseas Pakistanis. Participants of the meeting stressed the need for granting voting rights to overseas Pakistanis and discussed its mechanism. They said that the facility of online voting should be provided to 8 million new overseas Pakistanis. Services of Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC) were also appreciated at the meeting.
It was suggested to appoint OPC’s coordinator in each USA state to strengthen liaison with the immigrants and resolve their issues, besides attracting foreign investors to Pakistan. Participants of the meeting lauded Punjab CM for hosting the PSL final in Lahore, which, they hoped, would help promote the soft image of the country and improve confidence of the foreign investors.
The dinner was attended by Overseas Vice Commissioner Capt Khalid Shaheen Butt, PML-N USA President Rohail Dar, General Secretary Rana Saeed, Information Secretary Syed Anwar Wasti and PML-N New York President Mohammad Jan.
