IPRA, the International Public Relations Association, has today signed a new co-operation agreement with the Council of Public Relations Pakistan. Under the agreement, inter alia, the organisations will exchange materials such as IPRA’s Thought Leadership essays and know-how to help with the development of the PR profession.

“These agreements add to our extending network of co-operation with PR groups around the world,” explains IPRA President Bart de Vries. “Under these we hope to provide help where it is needed and also to expand IPRA’s Golden World Awards programme to new areas of PR practice.”

Reacting to the agreement, CPR founding president Hasan Zuberi comments: “We at the Council of Public Relations Pakistan are honoured to be associated with the International Public Relations Association. It is a big achievement for us which reflects the flourishing media and PR sector in Pakistan and will open new horizons for Pakistani PR and communication professionals to connect with their industry peers internationally. This co-operation will also help us understand and work on the global standards set by IPRA.”
