Many experts believe that the government's bouquet of assurances to the diaspora is more than just an innocent outreach effort: it's also a political move in a battle for the support of overseas Pakistanis with former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
"In a brief, 55-word post on his X social media account, Khan congratulated Trump on his win and said the will of the American people held against all odds. President Elect Trump will be good for Pak-US relations based on mutual respect for democracy and human rights. We hope he will push for peace, human rights, and democracy globally."
