DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 17th Jun, 2021) The government of Pakistan will soon be launching a special gateway "Foreign Minister's Portal Pakistan" to strengthen the relationship between overseas Pakistanis and missions in the form of feedback, complaints and suggestions.
"I will soon be launching the #FMPortal under #VisionFO thought leadership platform," Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in a tweet.
"The portal has been crafted with the aim of strengthening the relationship between our overseas Pakistanis and missions in the form of feedback, complaints & suggestions," he added.
In its pilot phase, FMPortal will be introduced to missions and diaspora in Jeddah, Dubai, Barcelona, London and New York. It will then be scaled to include all missions, Qureshi said.
