Launching the ‘FM Direct APP’, Qureshi said that the purpose of FM Direct is to involve all officers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs both at the Headquarters and Missions aboard in an interactive dialogue for the exchange of ideas.



The App provides an opportunity to each officer, irrespective of grade and location, to reach out to the foreign minister directly and share their views independently and without any restriction.

The App was launched now specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Foreign Minister believes in the critical importance of being as connected as possible to ensure multi-stakeholder coordination and dialogue; and indeed it is at a time of great crisis that innovative, game-changing ideas have emerged through history.

The foreign minister thanked the Chairman NADRA for developing the FM Direct App and for ensuring its security and interactive features.

The App will be regularly updated and improved in order to eventually replace other commercially available communication means in the Foreign Office.

Officers from the Missions present also shared their views with the foreign minister and lauded the launch of this modern and innovative communication medium.

The ‘Vision FO’ is part of the Foreign Minister’s Public Diplomacy drive, to craft an environment of thought leadership at the Ministry; to promote a macro vision, digital landscape and an evolved/transparent way of communications.
