The World Peace Jirga Programme (WPJP) has advocated for strengthening the traditional Jirga system and expanding community-based committees to address disputes at national and international levels. A high-level meeting focused on business promotion, peace, and development, gathering key stakeholders to discuss national unity, conflict resolution, and economic investment prospects in Pakistan.
Coordinated by WPJP Chairman Rayatullah Khan, also known as Khan Baba, and Women Peace Jirga Programme Chairperson Sadia Khan, the forum emphasized the critical role of local dialogue mechanisms in promoting stability. Rayatullah Khan shared experiences from his volunteer work with local communities and security forces during previous counter-militancy operations in Swat.
The seminar extensively covered Pakistan's economic potential, particularly in gold exploration and mining, with discussions on investment frameworks for natural resources and productive sectors. A consensus emerged that linking economic empowerment with community-based dispute resolution is crucial for achieving sustainable peace and prosperity throughout the nation.
