A new national culture policy is being drafted by the ministry of culture with emphasis on public-private partnership. "The revised culture policy would be introduced with certain amendments in view of the changed circumstances", Minister for Culture Dr G G Jamal told APP.
The current policy was announced in 1995 while the revised cultural policy would not only cover the missing aspects but also the vision of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Muhammad Iqbal to promote cultural diplomacy.
With the changed circumstances and the amendments in revised policy, the culture and tourism industry in the country would be integrated, which would help improve the socio-economic prosperity of the country, he said.
"The policy will also go a long way for the promotion of Pakistani culture as well as improving the soft image of the country", the minister added.
The cultural diplomacy needs articulation and in this connection the draft would be put on the website of the ministry of culture for inputs and comments from all the stakeholders and the general public to make it more useful for the promotion of culture in the country, he said.
