The Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, has been appointed as the inaugural chairperson of the Inter-Parliamentary Speakers’ Conference (ISC). This international organization, based in Seoul, aims to encourage parliamentary discussions, support sustainable growth, and enhance collaboration in tackling significant issues like climate change, renewable energy, and water scarcity.
Chairman Gilani made this decision during his recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for an exclusive briefing about the upcoming Inter-Parliamentary Speakers’ Conference (ISC) scheduled in Seoul, South Korea.
The official ceremony for this event will occur during the upcoming World Summit 2025, hosted by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) in Seoul, South Korea. This gathering will involve participation from 500 delegates and 45 parliamentary speakers representing 150 nations.
The award bestowed upon Chairman Gilani acknowledged his forward-thinking leadership with an engraving that praised his steadfast dedication to fostering connections among legislative institutions and promoting a collective international mission for peace, progress, and democratic principles. His trip to Kuala Lumpur and his designation as the inaugural chairperson of the ISC mark crucial moments in Pakistan’s escalating impact on the worldwide parliamentary landscape, notably through bolstering ties between parliaments, improving cross-border collaboration, and pursuing mutual economic and diplomatic goals.
Through the use of parliamentary diplomacy, the Pakistani Senate led by Chairman Gilani aims to implement groundbreaking measures designed to mend rifts and promote worldwide harmony and economic advancement.
Under Chairman Gilani, the ISC will act as an elite forum where Pakistan and other participating nations can share insights, create strong policy frameworks, and establish collaborations that go beyond conventional diplomatic limits.
At the recent ISC briefing held in Kuala Lumpur, Chairman Gilani gave an uplifting speech that encapsulated both his political philosophy and Pakistan’s approach to diplomacy. He highlighted that the ISC goes beyond being just another gathering—it stands as a forward-thinking endeavor grounded in concepts like interconnectedness, collective wealth creation, and globally recognized ideals. Gilani stressed again that genuine advancement happens only through cooperative efforts among lawmakers tackling worldwide issues including environmental shifts, income disparity, rapid tech changes, and shifting geo-political dynamics. Furthermore, he mentioned that consistent with the goals set forth by the ISC program, particular emphasis would be placed on fostering alliances and cooperation across three crucial domains: combating climate change, advancing renewable energy solutions, and addressing water scarcity concerns.
Drawing from his deep involvement in international affairs, particularly during his time as Pakistan’s Prime Minister, the Chairman emphasized that promoting dialogue, inclusion, and grassroots connections has consistently formed the bedrock of his political journey. He pointed out that platforms like the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), the Asia Pacific Assembly (APA), and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) have significantly facilitated increased worldwide collaboration.
As the inaugural chairman of the ISC, he urged parliamentarians to turn common aspirations into concrete achievements. “It is essential that our joint endeavors result in implementable strategies ensuring regional security, harmony, and enduring progress,” he emphasized.
The Chairman highlighted the crucial part played by the ISC in tackling both internal problems and developing pioneering parliamentary answers for matters concerning the Korean Peninsula and wider regions. His speech during the conference garnered positive feedback, underscoring Pakistan’s dedication to maintaining regional tranquility, ensuring economic steadiness, and promoting international legal collaboration.
