Living
abroad where the image of Pakistan only referred
to as the ongoing strife in the country, any
opportunity to build the image of the country is
a delight. With this in view, a group of
Pakistanis in prominent positions organized an
event to feature the positive side of Pakistan
under the banner of ‘Pakistan Change Initiative’
in the last week of October.
The event featured the positive achievements of
Pakistan since its inception through a display
of a captivating presentation. It showcased
Pakistani heroes, its scenic beauty, the tourist
spots and where it stands in the world. The
event also saw our eminent alumnus and member of
Supervisory Board of Pakistan IBA Chapter UAE (PIC-UAE);
Mr. Irfan Mustafa, as a key note speaker to
grace the audience with his views on Pakistan as
a nation. The event was attended by various
nationalities spanning from Emiratis, Indians,
Western Expats as well as prominent Pakistani
expats; all of whom were seen leaving after the
event with a progressive image about the
country.
Care
Pakistan, a well-known charity, was also
showcased at the event. Many distinguished
Pakistanis who have started their own ventures
in UAE were also invited to highlight the skill
of Pakistanis living abroad.
IBA Alumni attended the event to support not
only fellow Pakistanis but also Mr. Irfan
Mustafa, who along with Mr. Waqar Siddique, has
been a driving a force behind the Pakistan IBA
Chapter UAE (PIC-UAE) which is gaining steady
recognition in the region. It has been invited
to participate in many Pakistani and
International forums alike; Pakistan Association
of Dubai, Pakistan Professional Wing and now PCI
to name a few.
With the new elected team already on board, I
wish them all the best and hope that they
continue to be part of such initiatives and many
more.
