Islamabad:Prime Minister’s Youth Program for Overseas Pakistani Business and Trade Focal Person, Shahryar Memon, hosted a grand Iftar dinner at his residence in Islamabad, bringing together parliamentarians, ambassadors, diplomats from various countries, and prominent political and business leaders.

The event witnessed the participation of members of the National Assembly and Provincial Assembly, along with a large number of representatives from the business community, investors, and socio-political figures.
