Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Umar Rehman Malik said this week that PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari deserved recognition at the highest level as the party chairman received Nishan-e-Imtiaz.
“Congratulations to Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on receiving the prestigious Nishan-e-Imtiaz. Through principled diplomacy, he has eloquently championed Pakistan’s stance on the world stage while resolutely exposing India’s war driven posture. It is an honour truly earned and a proud moment for the PPP family,” Umar Rehman Malik said in a statement.
He said honouring renowned politician Bilawal Bhutto Zardari with the Nishan-e-Imtiaz, one of the highest civilian medals, by the President of Pakistan is a moment of pride for all those people of Pakistan who value democratic values, youthful leadership, and dedicated public service.
“The prestigious recognition reflects his remarkable contributions as a politician, diplomat, and advocate for the people, both nationally and internationally,” he added.
The Nishan-e-Imtiaz is not given lightly, it honours individuals whose work has brought distinction to Pakistan. In Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s case, it acknowledges his political insight, steadfast commitment to democratic principles, and passion for serving the public.
From assuming the role of PPP Chairman at a young age, Bilawal Bhutto demonstrated a maturity far beyond his years. Leading a party with such a historic legacy is no small task, especially in an environment as politically complex as Pakistan’s. Yet, he has done so with prudence, courage, and vision – qualities essential for steering Pakistan towards a better future.
Umar Rehman Malik said one of the defining features of Bilawal Bhutto’s political journey is how he has navigated the most challenging political and national occasions. “Whether it was defending democratic institutions, raising his voice for the underprivileged, or presenting a clear stance on crucial national issues, Bilawal has shown that leadership is not about rhetoric but about decisive action with responsibility,” he said.
Umar Rehman Malik said as Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari earned respect across the globe. He carried Pakistan’s message to international forums with diplomatic tact and firm advocacy for the country’s interests. His ability to engage world leaders, present Pakistan’s stance on sensitive issues, and promote bilateral cooperation showcased his competence in international relations.
He said from representing Pakistan at the United Nations to engaging with regional powers and global organizations, Bilawal brought fresh energy and credibility to Pakistan’s diplomacy. His approach combined firmness on matters of national interest with an openness to dialogue – a balance that is critical in today’s interconnected world.
One of Bilawal Bhutto’s most remarkable achievements is the way he has inspired Pakistan’s young generation to take an interest in politics. In a country where political disillusionment among youth is common, Bilawal Bhutto has presented politics as a path of service, integrity, and progressive change.
