Yousuf Raza Gilani to Head Pakistan’s Delegation at 68th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference

Chairman Senate Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani will represent Pakistan as the head of its parliamentary delegation at the 68th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference (CPC), set to take place in Barbados, West Indies, from October 5 to 12, 2025. The annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference gathers Speakers, parliamentarians, and delegates from across member countries to exchange ideas and experiences on strengthening democracy, ensuring good governance, and enhancing public representation. The conference also serves as a global platform to foster inter-parliamentary collaboration and mutual understanding among Commonwealth nations. During the event, Yousuf Raza Gilani will engage in a series of high-level bilateral meetings with parliamentary leaders, lawmakers, and prominent global figures. These meetings aim to expand parliamentary partnerships, deepen bilateral relations, promote people-to-people connections, and encourage regional cooperation. As part of the conference agenda, the Chairman Senate is also scheduled to chair one of the key sessions of the 68th CPC. In his address, he will reaffirm Pakistan’s dedication to democratic values, peace promotion, and parliamentary diplomacy as vital tools for regional and global progress. Gilani will further highlight Pakistan’s efforts to address humanitarian and environmental challenges following the recent floods and heavy rainfall across the country. He is expected to make a strong case for global climate justice, urging greater international collaboration and support for climate-vulnerable nations, including Pakistan. This participation underscores Pakistan’s active role in the Commonwealth Parliamentary community and its ongoing commitment to inclusive governance, democratic resilience, and sustainable development.
