A new platform aimed at supporting skilled Pakistani individuals and students has been launched by the North American Association for South Asian Affairs. The organization held a special program here at local hotel to address the challenges faced by Pakistani youth in Canada and Europe and to discuss potential solutions.
Dr. Sarah Alam, Executive Director of Fusion Forum and President of the North American Association for South Asian Affairs, highlighted the goals of this initiative. “Our program aims to provide Pakistani talent with opportunities to present their research work and theses. We are organizing conferences in Canada and Europe next year,” she said.
Dr. Alam further discussed the difficulties skilled students encounter after immigration. “Individuals from Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh face many challenges abroad. Our region is becoming part of the Global South, yet we do not receive the same opportunities as those from other countries,” she explained.
The event also featured speeches from Consultant Rehan Siddiqui and other notable figures who emphasized the importance of providing support and opportunities to South Asian youth abroad.
This initiative promises to be a significant step forward in addressing the issues faced by Pakistani youth and ensuring they have the necessary support to thrive in international settings.
