Pakistani diaspora
The Pakistani diaspora refers to people of Pakistani origin living outside Pakistan, often as immigrants or their descendants. This global community has grown due to economic opportunities, political factors, or education. Major Pakistani diaspora populations are found in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. They contribute to their host countries economically, culturally, and socially, while maintaining strong connections to Pakistan. This widespread diaspora influences global perceptions of Pakistan and plays a key role in international networks, remittances, and cultural exchange.
