A group of officers from Pakistan participating in the National Management Course (NMC), currently on their Foreign Study Tour of the UK, visited the Pakistan High Commission London on 22 May 2017.
H.E. Syed Ibne Abbas, Pakistan High Commissioner to the UK welcomed the group to the High Commission. The officers were given a presentation on Pakistan-UK bilateral relations as well as the post Brexit scenario and opportunities for Pakistan by Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, Deputy High Commissioner. The group was informed that under the Enhanced Strategic Dialogue (ESD), the bilateral relations have become institutionalised and more inclusive, and are on an upward trajectory.
The High Commissioner responded the questions by the officers on socio-economic as well as political developments taking place in the UK. Matters relating to the diaspora and their investment in Pakistan also came under discussion.
The delegation was later hosted over a dinner, which was also joined by Dr Ishrat Husain, former Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan.
The visit programme of the delegation covered a wide range of activities including briefings at various government departments and the institutions in the UK.
