For the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that will take place in Samoa from the 21st to the 26th of October 2024, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, will serve as the leader of the Pakistani delegation.
It is expected that the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan would express Pakistan’s viewpoints on significant global topics and concerns during the meeting. Particular attention will be paid to climate change, economic development, and the enhancement of international cooperation within the Commonwealth Community.
In the keynote talk that he will deliver at the Commonwealth Business Forum on “Transforming Our Workforce,” he will emphasise Pakistan’s commitment to the empowerment of young people, the development of skills, and the transformation of digital technology.
Interactions will also take place between the Deputy Prime Minister and the leaders of delegations from other Commonwealth Member States.
The participation of Pakistan at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2024 is a reflection of the country’s ongoing commitment to the Commonwealth as well as its links with countries in the Pacific region that are comprised of small islands.
