Having made his mark on the domestic political scene, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will speak to an international audience at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland this month and share his vision with top world leaders to steer the country out of the economic crisis. Former federal minister Jahangir Tareen, who was developing the PTI’s reforms strategy, will accompany Imran to Davos for participation in the WEF annual meeting from January 25 to 29.
According to sources, columnist Ikram Sehgal would host a lunch for the PTI leader, which foreign leaders were also expected to attend. Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani will represent Pakistan as the head of government. The Annual WEF Meeting 2012 will be held under the theme–The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models, whereby leaders return to their core purpose of defining what the future should look like, aligning stakeholders around that vision and inspiring their institutions to realise that vision. Imran, criticising the PPP and PML-N for their failure to give the country a new narrative at a time when it was beset with internal and external pressures, had presented the PTI as an alternative to the two major political forces.
