Speaker Bio
Hina Rabbani Khar: 26th Foreign Minister of Pakistan. Twice elected Member of Parliament. She is currently serving as Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Pakistan.
Hina Rabbani Khars term as Foreign Minister is best remembered for the Regional Pivot to Pakistans foreign policy. As the 26th Foreign Minister of Pakistan, she concentrated on building ties with Pakistans immediate neighbours. A major policy shift was taken by starting the journey of normalization of trade relations with India. Similarly, with Afghanistan, Pakistan pursued a policy of reaching out to all political parties, and ethnicities. Pakistan also pursued an active role in an Afghan led and Afghan owned process of reconciliation. In a difficult time of increasing economic sanctions Pakistan pursued to cement ties with Iran.
Hina Rabbani Khar has also served as Minister of State for Economic Affairs for 4 years and Minister of State for Finance & Economic Affairs for another 2 Years. During these years, she was the lead person in Pakistans economic diplomacy, both bilateral and multilateral.
