In his speech, Honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif said, “I commend Chairman Senate and Founding Chairman ISC Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani. Bringing legislators and diplomats to Islamabad echoes Pakistan’s untiring efforts for regional peace. Pakistan has always advocated for peace, security, and development, and continues to promote partnership with regional and global stakeholders. I hope ISC under the leadership of Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani will yield positive results for regional and global peace.”

Honorable Chairman Senate of Pakistan and Founding Chairman ISC, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, in his inaugural address said, “ISC has brought together distinguished guests, excellencies, speakers, and legislators from over 40 countries along with national leadership. The theme of ISC this year is peace, security, and development. ISC is not only a parliamentary institution but also a reflection of Pakistan’s efforts for peace, cooperation, and multilateralism.”

Adding further, Chairman Senate Yousaf Raza Gilani said, “Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions yet suffers the most. Climate Change is not a distant threat—it is here. If we as parliamentarians do not act, it will worsen. It is incumbent upon us as parliamentary leaders to shape legislative agendas ensuring that national security remains rooted in equitable human development.”
