Secretary's Message

 

"The website is intended to provide information regarding functions and activities of the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions. The Ministry was established on the specific instructions of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on 3rd July, 1948 and remains one of the oldest Ministries of the Federal Government. It continues to handle the function relating to ex-states which merged with or acceded to Pakistan. The subject of Afghan refugees was subsequently assigned to the Ministry and, with millions of Afghan refugees in Pakistan, it has remained challenging due its humanitarian and at the same time economic and security aspects. After the 25th Amendment in the Constitution, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) were merged with Khyber Pakhtunwa. Subsequently, Ministry of States and Frontier Regions has facilitated the transition process in the Parliamentary Committees. We hope that the information available on the site is helpful for visitors and serves as a useful reference for the public, scholars and researchers. We remain receptive to suggestions for improvement."
