President Asif Ali Zardari is set to make a significant call for a reformed and inclusive global financial architecture to support developing nations during his address at the World Summit for Social Development in Doha, Qatar. The President is on an official four-day visit to attend the high-level gathering aimed at accelerating progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The summit, hosted by the State of Qatar from November 3 to 6, brings together international leaders to renew their commitment to social justice and equality. According to a Foreign Office statement, the conference is expected to culminate in the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration, reinforcing global resolve for inclusive growth and sustainable progress.

In his scheduled speech on November 4, President Zardari will advocate for enhanced international collaboration to advance human dignity and social equity. A central theme of his address will be the necessity of a new financial framework that can better facilitate social development, particularly for countries in the Global South.

The President is also anticipated to showcase Pakistan’s accomplishments in crucial sectors such as poverty eradication, health, and education. These examples will serve to underscore the nation’s steadfast dedication to equitable progress.

Beyond the main plenary, President Zardari’s agenda includes several bilateral meetings with other world leaders. These discussions are intended to explore matters of mutual interest and identify avenues for strengthening cooperation.

The World Summit for Social Development serves as a major global platform, instrumental in shaping collective efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the 2030 deadline.
