Launch of Share Pakistan Portal By The Foreign Minister of Pakistan
The Share Pakistan Portal will serve as digital repository of outreach and public diplomacy activities undertaken by our Missions abroad. With this online standardized information system we would be able to collect measure and communicate the impact of public diplomacy initiatives in pursuance of Pakistani foreign policy objectives.
Share Pakistan is the first project to be launched under this initiative and will serve as a vehicle for targeted communication and information exchange. It is designed to simplify communication and sharing of information both horizontally and vertically in the public diplomacy domain between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its diplomatic posts abroad.
This Portal will bring efficiency and transparency in our various public diplomacy initiatives as we add a standardized assessment tool of the qualitative and quantitative impact of public programmes across all Missions abroad.
Going digital is no longer optional and by launching Share Pakistan globally this Ministry is also stepping into the latest trends. This paperless digital tool is the first portal launch covering the integration of digital technologies in both our public diplomacy strategic outreach efforts and institution. It will be used in diplomacy for outreach decision support, drafting strategic communication, translating foreign policy, and analysis of latest trends.
I believe that this digital tool can serve as model for future projects for Useful and effective communication between the Ministry and its missions. We hope to thus transform the work culture of the Ministry of Foreign affairs and the Government of Pakistan.
This portal will be the first step to simplification of communication systems and IT based solutions in the engagement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with other government departments and facilitate inter-department coordination.
The support of NITB and the Ministry of Information Technology for partnering with Mofa in developing the “Share Pakistan” portal so that our public diplomacy activities have greater visibility and achieve desired foreign policy goals.
