They were warmly welcomed by the vice-chairperson. He said overseas Pakistanis are eager to see Pakistan progressing and are making efforts to fulfill this dream. Overseas Pakistanis Commission is working under an effective plan to facilitate our Pakistani expats and our doors are always open for them, he added.

It gives me an immense pleasure to know that overseas Pakistanis have shown full support and confidence in the PTI-led government as we Pakistanis witness yet another record-breaking month of remittances in December - 2.4 b $.

It is first time in the history that remittances have been above 2b$ for six consecutive months, he said.
