Sartaj Aziz

Sartaj Aziz is a seasoned Pakistani politician and economist who has held various significant positions in the government, including serving as the Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs. He played a pivotal role in the formation of a committee in 2015 to evaluate the status of Gilgit-Baltistan, which aimed to address local demands for greater integration and constitutional rights. His recommendations were intended to empower the region, but subsequent governmental actions, particularly the controversial Gilgit-Baltistan Order of 2018, have been criticized for undermining those goals.
