Last Saturday, local Green Party members met with Liaquat Ali Shaikh, founding member of the Pakistani Green Party. Over an informal (and very delicious) dinner, Ali discussed various issues pertinent to his home country including the current violence, water disputes, and the growth and development of the Green Party.
Ali is also the spokesperson of the Asia Pacific Green Network. He invited us to attend the upcoming national meeting of the Pakistani Green Party in Lahore this coming August.
