WEB DESK: The Pakistani diaspora, comprising millions of individuals living abroad, has always played a crucial role in shaping the global perception of Pakistan.
Some segments of the diaspora are becoming increasingly polarized, often prioritizing political affiliations or external agendas over the broader interests of Pakistan. This has led to unintended consequences, including a growing disconnect with domestic populations, the dissemination of divisive narratives, and the undermining of Pakistan’s international standing.
As the face of the country in foreign lands, this community is an important ambassador for Pakistan’s culture, values, and interests.
Now diaspora have become conduits for narrow political agendas, which not only undermine their own credibility but also have the potential to harm Pakistan’s national interests.
When the diaspora, who are seen as the identity of Pakistan and its representatives abroad, appear divided or opposed to their own state, it tarnishes the nation’s image and undermines its credibility on global platforms.
By championing a unified vision of progress, the diaspora can regain its role as a bridge between Pakistan and the world, fostering mutual respect and understanding.
