Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq has appointed Member National Assembly (MNA) Bilal Azhar Kayani as Convener of National Parliamentary Taskforce (NPT) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The National Assembly Secretariat on Tuesday issued the notification of the new appointment. It should be mentioned here that Sardar Ayaz Sadiq in 2016, his first tenure as Speaker National Assembly, laid the foundation of the SDGs Secretariat. Since then the Secretariat continues to oversee and drive the pragmatic social development agenda in line with the SDGs to improve the quality of life of people, particularly of the most vulnerable and impoverished segments of the society. The Parliament of Pakistan was the first of its kind to establish such a secretariat.
