Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today spoke at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today assured that the July Charter will be announced through consensus among all political parties.

“We have gathered here today for the welfare of the country, and we hope to prepare a strong and inclusive July Charter by reaching agreement with all political parties,” he said.

Prof Yunus made the remarks during his opening speech at the National Consensus Commission’s dialogue held this afternoon at the Foreign Service Academy.

He expressed optimism that the government would be able to issue the July Charter with minimal divisions among political groups.

As chairman of the commission, Prof Yunus welcomed the participation of representatives from various political parties, noting his satisfaction with their commitment to achieving national consensus.

Commission Vice-Chairman Professor Ali Riaz reaffirmed the commission’s determination to finalise the July Charter by next month, as its tenure ends in August 2025.

“We must succeed in fulfilling this important responsibility entrusted to us,” he said.

The second round of the National Consensus Commission’s dialogue began today, chaired by Prof Yunus, bringing together political parties and key stakeholders involved in the reform process.

The commission was established to review and finalise recommendations from five major reform commissions focused on the constitution, judiciary, electoral system, public administration, and the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The first round of talks took place between February 15 and May 19, during which 33 political parties were consulted.
