The Prime Minister's Youth Programme (PMYP), in collaboration with Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the UN, launched PIVOT program at a Youth Diaspora Gathering titled "From Connection to Contribution: Pakistani Youth Diaspora Connect" at the Pakistan Mission in New York.

The initiative aims to create a structured platform for connecting Pakistan's global youth diaspora with young people in Pakistan through mentorship, knowledge sharing, professional networking, innovation and opportunities in education, entrepreneurship and skills development.

The event brought together young Pakistani professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, students and community leaders from across the United States, who expressed strong interest in supporting Pakistan's youth through mentorship, collaboration and knowledge exchange under the PIVOT platform.

Addressing the gathering, Chairman of the Prime Minister's Youth Programme, Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, said that the launch of PIVOT marked the renewal of Pakistan's partnership with a generation of overseas Pakistanis whose lives span countries, cultures and possibilities, but whose hearts remain connected to home.

Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said Pakistan's youth and its global diaspora together constitute an extraordinary reservoir of talent, innovation and expertise. He noted that building stronger connections between these communities would create new opportunities for mentorship, entrepreneurship, learning and national development.
