PESHAWAR: Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Development and Human Resources Chaudhry Salik Hussain spoke to the media in Peshawar, addressing key issues related to his ministry and national affairs.
He discussed the problems faced by overseas workers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and highlighted steps being taken to improve facilities, including hospitals, schools, and residential colonies for expatriate families. The minister revealed that around 2.5 million people from KP go abroad for work every year.
To better serve overseas Pakistanis, the government will soon open new protector offices in DI Khan and Abbottabad, Chaudhry Salik announced.
