Pakistani envoy hosts successful Pakistan origin women in Canada

Consul General Abdul Hameed hopes professional women in Canada would help their counterparts back home

Pakistan’s Consul General in Toronto, Abdul Hameed, has hoped that successful Pakistan-origin women professionals in Canada would help their counterparts back home by sharing best practices, experiences and strategies for achieving targets in their respective fields.

He said this while speaking to a delegation of LadiesFund at an event organised for professional friendship building, networking, and connecting the community back to Pakistan. “The information technology based linkages among women professionals of both countries would build the knowledge and skill corridor with a positive impact on the quality of life of Pakistani women,” he said.

“Positive interventions and projects in social sectors like education and health in Pakistan by expatriate Pakistanis are now possible due to the prevalence of communication technology and its more frequent use in these sectors during the Covid period,” he added.

“We are greatly honoured to bring a LadiesFund delegation of a cross section of trailblasing Pakistani-Canadian women to meet with the honorable Consul General,” said Fund President Tara Uzra Dawood. “Our platform not only aligns and introduces these incredible, impactful women to each other, but through occasions such as these, facilitates their connection back to Pakistan and their counterparts living and working in Pakistan.”
