Deputy PM Ishaq Dar will lead the Pakistani delegation in the OIC summit being held in Gambia on the 4th and 5th of May. Dar’s visit has immense importance for the current economic conditions of Pakistan. Dar’s presence as Deputy PM is also significant given the current situation of the ongoing Gaza genocide.
The Muslim leaders of the world are being called out for their silence on the Gaza genocide. What is even more important is the realization that the utilization of such a form may strengthen the Muslim world economically. Financial independence is the key to asserting dominance.
Pakistan itself needs financial security to ensure its growth, recent IMF deals and economic indicators have shown slow and steady growth. Pakistan’s involvement on a regional level will help strengthen its trade alliance with the Muslim world.

Dar is likely to raise issues on trade, the Gaza genocide, and climate change. Climate change is one department where the world seems to focus the least.

Children around the world are taught how climate change is affecting the world however the world leaders don’t seem to realize the intensity of the situation. Deforestation and blatant use of resources for industrialization have resulted in massive thunderstorms, intense changes in climate, and earthquakes.
The presence of Pakistan in such a forum has its ideological value for its blatant assertion of being the first ideological nation-state.
