Federal Minister Iqbal Addresses Pakistan Governance Forum on International Relations

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is with great pleasure that I address you today as the Federal Minister for Planning, Development & Special Initiatives on behalf of the Government of Pakistan. This year marks a significant milestone in our nation’s journey towards progress and development. As we continue to navigate through global challenges, it is crucial that we stay connected and engaged at international forums.

This month, I had the honor of representing Pakistan at several multilateral gatherings where our country’s aspirations were elevated by our diplomatic corps. It was not just a showcase of our capabilities but also an opportunity to foster partnerships for mutual growth and development.

Our commitment to enhancing infrastructure, promoting economic stability, and addressing developmental gaps is evident in these forums. These discussions have allowed us to articulate our vision clearly while also listening intently to the perspectives of other nations. By working collaboratively, we can create a more equitable and prosperous world for all stakeholders.

As Pakistan continues to forge ahead on its path towards progress, I invite you all to stay connected with our initiatives. Together, let’s ensure that every opportunity is seized for the betterment of our people and our nation.

Pakistan Zindabad!

Thank you very much for your attention today.
