During his welcome remarks, Siddiqui appreciated His Excellency Syed Sajjad Haider the Ambassador of Pakistan to Kuwait, for taking the initiative of inviting the attention to hold a webinar on Roshan Digital Account in order to raise awareness among non-resident Pakistanis. Mr. Siddiqui also extended gratitude and welcomed the efforts of ambassador Sajjad Haider’s for further strengthening Kuwait Pakistan bilateral relations, which resulted in the recent development of Pakistani medical staff arriving and joining the Ministry of the health of Kuwait.
Mr. Ahmed Sidiqui then invited His excellency, Syed Sajjad Haider, the ambassador of Pakistan to Kuwait for his speech. His Excellency Syed Sajjad Haider thanked all the panelists and participants. He confirmed the medical staff’s arrival in Kuwait. He emphasized that nine million non-resident Pakistan reside all over the world and this requires more focus to create awareness on Roshan Digital Account. He also reiterated, since Meezan bank is a Kuwaiti investment in Pakistan and has eight hundred branches in all over Pakistan, therefore, an awareness campaign should take place to highlight among Kuwaitis that this one of the best performing banks belongs to Kuwait. The webinar was concluded with closing remarks of Mr. Siddiqui and the ambassador Syed Sajjad.
