Following over 10,000 interviews, 600 candidates were selected for different international job positions. Individuals from different regions of Pakistan departed from major airports in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar.

They have departed for Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia for employment opportunities. Special Assistant to PM (SAPM) on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Jawad Sohrab Malik stated that this initiative is the beginning of a larger effort to create thousands of new job opportunities.

He added that this will be achieved through the implementation of 46 additional contracts. Malik highlighted the high demand for skilled labor in various sectors including construction, health, engineering, IT, hospitality, and finance.

The success of this initiative is due to the joint efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis. The officials from both ministries have been actively communicating with foreign employers since last year.

Pakistan’s active participation in international conferences, exhibitions, and joint meetings has led to reaching agreements that are expected to reach 100 by the end of the week.
