Pakistan to host WIEF next year


KARACHI, Oct 5: Pakistan has been assigned the task to host second World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) in November 2006. The decision came during the meeting of International Advisory Panel (IAP) of the Asian Strategic and Leadership Institute (ASLI) held after successful conclusion of the first WIEF at Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.

Tariq Sayeed, former president of Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry, stated this on his return to Pakistan after attending the meeting as a member of the IAP, according to a press release issued here on Wednesday.

Originally, Pakistan had to host the forum in 2007 but the IAP entrusted this responsibility to Pakistan for the year 2006 in view of the proactive role of Pakistan in making the inaugural WIEF a success.

Pakistan had the highest representation at the forum with total participation of 62 persons including official delegation led by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.—APP
