The vision behind
the work.

Naeem Naqshbandi

A united voice for overseas Pakistanis. A practical connection to the institutions that serve them.

Naeem founded OPWC in 2015 to turn that vision into an organised platform for service. As chairman, he has guided its work across community welfare, consular outreach and representation with public institutions.

His work brings together community volunteers, councillors, professionals and Pakistani institutions—connecting the commitment to serve with the people who can help.
