With a view to early redress the expats' complaints pertaining to the federal government agencies, the Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC) Punjab has decided to develop close and continuous liaison with the Overseas Pakistanis Foundation (OPF) of Government of Pakistan. The enhanced co-operation between these two important institutions would provide better service-delivery to the Pakistanis living abroad.
These views were expressed by Vice Chairperson OPC, Punjab Shaheen Khalid Butt and Commissioner Afzaal Bhatti while addressing the meeting of officers of the OPF MD OPF Habib ur Rehman Gillani, DG OPC Javed Iqbal Bukhari and Director (Legal) Raja Zubair also attended the meeting.
Shaheen Khalid Butt and Afzaal Bhatti told that joint collaboration of OPC and OPF would help solve the issues faced by the Overseas Pakistanis relating to federal government ministries, divisions and institutions.
