NEW YORK
Two Pakistanis are among 32 young leaders named in Asia’s 21 Young Leader class of 2015 by the Asia Society in New York on Wednesday, it has been learnt.
Mohsin Mustafa of the Strategy and Programme Development, Aman Foundation, and Muhammad Sabir, a community worker and founder of Slumabad have been included in the list.
In its 10th year, the Young Leaders Initiative has become a robust network of more than 800 young leaders from 30 different nations.
Each of these individuals is focused on shaping a brighter future for the Asia-Pacific region, confronting challenges facing their countries.
Asia 21 young leaders are selected through a highly competitive process based on outstanding achievements, commitment to public service and a proven ability to make the world a better place, a press statement issued here said.
“The new class of Asia 21 Young Leaders is a remarkable group. We are excited to introduce these leaders of the Asia-Pacific region to the Asia 21 Network, where they will find mentors, potential collaborators, and, we hope, new friends,” said Asia Society president and CEO Josette Sheeran.
