ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will attend the 17th summit of the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) in Baku, Azerbaijan, from July 3-4, the Foreign Office (FO) said on Wednesday.
The PM will “share Pakistan’s perspective on key regional and global challenges, reaffirm Pakistan’s commitment to the ECO Vision 2025, and advocate for enhanced intra-regional trade, transport connectivity, energy cooperation, and sustainable development”, said the FO in a statement.
Prime Minister will hold bilateral meetings with other world leaders to discuss issues of mutual interest and cooperation.
The theme of the summit is ‘New ECO Vision for a Sustainable and Climate Resilient Future’.
However, Pakistan was represented by caretaker PM Anwar-ul-haq kakar in the 16th ECO summit, held from November 9, 2023, in Tashkent.
In order to accomplish progress and prosperity via delicate economic integration, the summit will bring together ECO heads of state or government, ministers, observers, special guests from non-ECO nations, and heads of international organizations, according to a statement released by ECO.
The summit will include a “dynamic and inclusive ECO Week,” which will take place across several Azerbaijani cities from July 1–4. The ECO week will include a series of thematic forums aimed at advancing youth engagement, gender inclusion and economic connectivity within the region.
