During his virtual meeting, Imran Khan displayed displeasure over an "indifferent attitude and unnecessary delays in routine services" by Pakistani embassies.

He also asked the envoys to work hard to bring FDI to Pakistan and it must be evaluated that which embassy facilitated how much FDI to Pakistan.

"Feedback that I have received from Saudi Arabia shows as if the staff is not working. The staff in Kuwait's NADRA office take bribes instead of guiding people and an official is involved in making wrong documents. I was shocked to learn all this," Khan said.

He said that Pakistanis living in the UAE and Saudi Arabia give the highest remittances and both embassies showed indifferent attitudes toward them.

"I called you today to tell you that you need to change your attitude... Shah Ji (Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi] you must oversee it or have someone to look into it... we have received floods of complaints that your response is dissatisfactory," he said.

"Today if Pakistan is not on the verge of bankruptcy it is due to the remittances sent by overseas Pakistanis. they are our valuable asset," he added.
