Islamabad: The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development has launched the first-ever Protectorate of Emigrants Office in Islamabad.

An official source said that this groundbreaking initiative not only underscores the government’s dedication to ensuring the welfare of its citizens seeking employment abroad but also positions Islamabad as a focal point for international collaboration on labor and migration issues.

The inauguration of the Islamabad Protectorate Office, closely following the recent opening of two protectorate offices in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), in Bagh and Rawalakot, further amplifies the government’s efforts to streamline migration services across the country.

These steps reflect the ongoing mission of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development to facilitate the journey of Pakistani workers abroad, ensuring their rights and well-being are prioritized at every stage.

The strategic importance of establishing the Protectorate in Islamabad, a city that hosts numerous international organizations, including labor and migration entities as well as foreign embassies, was highlighted.

The inauguration of the Islamabad Protectorate Office is not just a milestone for our capital but a testament to Pakistan’s resolve in championing the causes of safe and legal migration globally, the official added.

This office will serve as the model protectorate, showcasing our commitment to excellence and our readiness to collaborate with international partners in upholding global migration standards, remarked the official.

The Islamabad Protectorate Office is poised to set a standard for migration services, providing comprehensive support to individuals seeking overseas employment opportunities.

It aims to be a beacon of hope and assurance for the Pakistani workforce, facilitating their access to legitimate employment avenues and safeguarding their rights across borders.

This initiative is part of a larger government strategy to enhance employment opportunities for Pakistanis both domestically and internationally, thereby contributing significantly to the nation’s economy through remittances.

The Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) has shown unwavering dedication to improving the migration experience for Pakistani workers, as evidenced by the establishment of these offices. These initiatives promise to make a significant impact on the lives of many.
