“The Pakistani members of the Young Presidents Organization
(YPO), a chapter of World Presidents Organization (WPO), together with their
international counterparts, would take a leading role through which
international events could
be held in Pakistan and ideas shared between our government as
well as private organizations to create
opportunities for further development of our natural
resources, energy sector, industries, agriculture
and most importantly education.”
This was stated by Arif Ali Shah Bukhari, Regional Member
YPO while speaking at the launch of YPO Capital Pakistan at a ceremony held in
Islamabad.
The YPO, he pointed out, as an organization created
opportunities for them and in turn allowed them to grow personally and
professionally.
"The YPO goal is to ensure that every member’s
experience is a unique and personal journey filled
with many opportunities for growth,” he said adding that as a
peer organization, we expect a lot from one another.
This peer connection, he said, makes us, to our
core, the
world’s leading network of chief executives.
Arif Bukhari revealed that the YPO-WPO is a global network
of 20,000 top executives based
in 100 countries out of which 150 Pakistanis have
the distinction of being members of the prestigious organization.
“The YPO’s mission is to create better leaders through
education and idea exchange", he emphasized.
He said that the organization promotes the holding of
high-level meetings through which global business
opportunities
are enhanced.
"The YPO/WPO is an excellent platform through which we can
very constructively help change the perception of Pakistan for
the better,” he reckoned.
“Together with our international counterparts, we can
bring investments in Pakistan. We seek the support of President Asif Ali
Zardari to build feasible strategies with
which we would be able to make Pakistan a truly
progressive industrial and agricultural nation,” Arif Bukhari observed.
He called for making
the gathering of YPO members a take-off point from
where we may learn about the vision of our
President for our country. He spoke
and threw light on the working and contribution of the organizations for uplift
of the economy.
Arif Bukhari is a Member Board of YPO MENA (Middle
East & North African Region) and has the honuor of being amongst the
founder members of YPO Pakistan Chapter of which he is the Chapter Chair. He is
also the Founder of YPO Indus chapter and Mentor of WPO Pakistan Chapter.
