ISLAMABAD: The focal person of the Prime Minister Youth Programme (PMYP) for green initiatives, Syeda Amna Batool, is representing Pakistan this week at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Youth Forum in Uzbekistan, state-run APP reported.
Batool is a Pakistani politician who has been a member of the National Assembly since 2024. She secured a seat in parliament through a reserved quota for women as a candidate for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party. PMYP Chairman Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan last month appointed Batool as the focal person for the Green Youth Program.
“Batool highlighted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision for youth and PMYP initiatives in Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and the Environment,” APP reported about her participation at the OIC youth forum, which brought together young leaders from OIC member states to address pressing global issues and advocate for youth empowerment.
“She also participated in bilateral meetings with other delegates, strengthening international relationships. Batool’s participation underscored Pakistan’s commitment to youth engagement and global cooperation and her contributions enriched the discussions, reflecting Pakistan’s dedication to the OIC’s goals.”
Pakistan currently holds the highest proportion of young people, as 64 percent of the total population of Pakistan is below the age of 30 while 29 percent is between the ages of 15 and 29 years.
