Pakistan has taken over the chairmanship of the Group of 24 (G-24), a major bloc of developing countries that speaks with one voice on global money and finance matters. Pakistan assumed the chair on Sunday, 1 November 2026, with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb leading the country's role in the group.
The G-24 was set up in 1971. It brings developing countries together to coordinate their positions on international monetary and financial issues, so that their concerns are heard in global forums where the rules of the world economy are shaped.
Finance Minister Aurangzeb said Pakistan is determined to strengthen the collective voice of developing economies and to push for a more responsive, fair and development-oriented international financial system. He set out three priorities for Pakistan's chairmanship: putting development at the centre of global economic policymaking, strengthening multilateral frameworks, and advancing a financial system that works for development.
President Asif Ali Zardari welcomed the development and congratulated Aurangzeb and his team. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called it a significant milestone, saying it gives Pakistan an influential platform to advocate reforms in the global financial system, to secure fair financial support for tackling climate change, and to promote sustainable development opportunities for emerging economies. Pakistan succeeded Nigeria as chair of the group.
Why does this matter? For ordinary Pakistanis, the global financial system decides things like how easy it is for developing countries to get loans, how debt is handled, and how much support flows towards climate action and development. As chair, Pakistan will now help lead the conversation on behalf of developing nations — arguing that the rules should be fairer and that development, not just profit, should sit at the heart of global economic decisions.
Pakistan ne Group of 24 (G-24) ki sadarat sambhal li hai — ye taraqqi-pazeer mumalik ka aik bara group hai jo aalmi maali aur financial mamlon mein aik awaaz mein baat karta hai. Pakistan ne ye sadarat Itwaar, 1 November 2026 ko sambhali, aur Wazeer-e-Khazana Muhammad Aurangzeb is mein Pakistan ki numaindagi ki qayadat kar rahe hain.
G-24 1971 mein qaim hua tha. Ye taraqqi-pazeer mumalik ko aik saath laata hai taake wo aalmi maali mamlon par apna mushtarika mauqif bana saken, aur un forums mein apni baat pahuncha saken jahan aalmi maeeshat ke usool tay hote hain.
Wazeer-e-Khazana Aurangzeb ne kaha ke Pakistan taraqqi-pazeer maeeshaton ki mushtarika awaaz ko mazboot karne aur aik zyada jawab-deh, munsifana aur taraqqi par mabni aalmi maali nizam ke liye koshish karega. Unhon ne Pakistan ki sadarat ke liye teen tarjeehat batayen: taraqqi ko aalmi maashi policymaking ke markaz mein rakhna, kaseer-ul-jehti (multilateral) dhanche ko mazboot karna, aur taraqqi par mabni maali nizam ko aage barhana.
Sadr Asif Ali Zardari ne is pesh-raft ka khair-maqdam kiya aur Aurangzeb aur un ki team ko mubarakbaad di. Wazeer-e-Azam Shehbaz Sharif ne ise aik ahem sang-e-meel qarar diya aur kaha ke is se Pakistan ko aalmi maali nizam mein islahat ki wakalat, mausamiyati tabdeeli se nimatne ke liye munsifana maali madad, aur ubharti maeeshaton ke liye paidaar taraqqi ke mawaqe ke liye aik moassar platform milega. Pakistan ne Nigeria ki jagah group ki sadarat sambhali hai.
Ye aam Pakistanion ke liye kyun ahem hai? Aalmi maali nizam ye tay karta hai ke taraqqi-pazeer mumalik ke liye qarz lena kitna aasan ho, qarz ke mamlon ko kaise handle kiya jaye, aur mausamiyati action aur taraqqi ke liye kitni madad mile. Sadar ke tor par Pakistan ab taraqqi-pazeer mumalik ki taraf se is guftagu ki qayadat mein madad karega — ye dalil dega ke usool zyada munsifana hon, aur taraqqi ko aalmi maashi faislon ke dil mein hona chahiye.
