This has successfully dispelled the negative image of Pakistanabroad to a great extent.

The Missions also remain in constant contact with Pakistani communityoverseas and advise them to strictly abide by the rules and regulations of thatcountry to depict positive image about Pakistan. Significant role of CommunityWelfare Attaches, who are officials of Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis & HumanResource Development, cannot be down played. They are appointed abroad incountries where sizeable numbers of Pakistani community abode.
